HIDTA and Homeland Security Investigations Awards

Today is the last day of the two-day law enforcement drug training at the Golden Nugget Casino and Resort and the officers ended it with an awards ceremony.

Awards and honors went to officers and task force teams for their teamwork and successes when tackling drug trafficking in the southeast. Awards for largest cocaine, meth and other dangerous drugs seizures were awarded to deserving officers across nine south eastern states. Homeland Security New Orleans Special Agent Jack Stanton said, “Homeland Security investigations supports our state local and federal officers in the war against drugs. We work closely with the Gulf Coast HIDTA in supporting initiatives that combat the movement of narcotics. It’s a great honor to support these officers and see their accomplishments and achievements. It’s just an honor to be here and to show my support for them.”

Part of the award ceremony is to connect with other officers and network to get drugs off the street.
