The Bureau of Narcotics is the state of Oklahoma's drug enforcement agency, tasked with investigating drug crimes, human trafficking, and money laundering.
This week, the @OBNDDC released its 2024 Drug Threat Assessment, a sobering 89-page report that paints a troubling picture of the evolving drug landscape across the state. While meth and fentanyl remain dominant concerns, a new trend has emerged: cocaine https://t.co/Q30fbgZkxZ
Working side by side with a common goal is how law enforcement agencies put criminals away for life. @ATFDallas strives to keep our communities safe. @DEADALLASDiv@OBNDDC@USAO_EDOK
