Consistent
with the Government Performance and Results Act, the 2004 budget proposes
to streamline ICDE's decision unit structure from 4 program activities
to 2 to align ICDE's budget more closely with the mission and strategic
objectives contained in the DOJ Strategic Plan (FY 2001-2006). As part
of this effort, the budget includes the consolidation of OCDETF funding
for participating agencies to provide more effective resource management
and accountability, as well as a more accurate picture of total activity
costs. In this way, budget and performance are more closely linked,
and provide a better basis on which to make budget decisions. Over time,
agencies will be expected to identify effective outcome measures, monitor
their progress, and accurately present the associated costs. |

Organized
Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Program |
|
Program Description |
OCDETF
was created in 1982 to mount a comprehensive attack against high-level
drug trafficking and related criminal enterprises, including large-scale
money laundering organizations, in order to destroy and dismantle these
criminal enterprises. The OCDETF program combines the drug enforcement
expertise of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of
Investigation, United States Marshals Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation
Division, the Bureau of Border and Transportation Security, and the
United States Coast Guard Investigative Service, with that of the U.S.
Attorneys, and the Department of Justice Criminal and Tax Divisions.
Since its inception, it has become the model for coordinated counterdrug
efforts in federal law enforcement. OCDETF investigations, by definition,
are conducted by more than one investigative agency, one of which must
be an OCDETF federal partner. |
The
OCDETF program is the centerpiece of the Attorney General's drug strategy
to reduce the availability of drugs. As the only task force with nationwide
reach that combines the talent of experienced federal agents and prosecutors
with support from state and local law enforcement, OCDETF is uniquely
positioned to conduct multiple, coordinated investigations across the
country to root out and eliminate all pieces of a drug organization.
Effective implementation of the Attorney General's drug strategy relies
on targeting our largest drug supply networks by dismantling their entire
infrastructure, from international supply through national transportation
cells to regional and local distribution organizations. The objective
is to curtail the availability of drugs through the disruption and dismantlement
of drug trafficking organizations, forfeiting illegal proceeds and destroying
their economic underpinnings at the national and international levels. |

$ 22,000 |
The Department of
Justice is requesting $22,000,000 to establish an automated cross-case analytical
system to rapidly ingest, analyze, and disseminate drug investigative information
from OCDETF agencies. The sophisticated and compartmentalized operations
of major drug trafficking and money laundering organizations, often across
international boundaries, continues to challenge law enforcement's capability
to fully identify all component pieces and target them for dismantlement.
Currently, OCDETF relies on the analytical support of intelligence analysts
to manually review and link targets identified within thousands of investigative
reports. By using existing Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force technology,
OCDETF would analyze the drug investigative information stored in established
database systems, providing crucial capacity needed to rapidly ingest and
conduct cross-case analysis needed to disseminate drug investigative information. |

The Department of
Justice is requesting 192 positions (96 FTE) and $26,000,000 to expand OCDETF
investigations connected to the Consolidated Priority Organization Target
(CPOT) list. CPOT currently contains 53 "command and control targets."
These targets are heads of narcotic and/or money laundering operations,
poly-drug traffickers, clandestine drug manufacturers and producers, and
major drug transporters, believed to be primarily responsible for the nation's
drug supply. The requested resources will be used to fund agents, analysts
and Assistant United States Attorneys dedicated to priority investigations
of these 53 command and control organizations. |

The Department of
Justice is requesting 83 positions (43 FTE) and $10,000,000 to expand the
capability of OCDETF agencies to conduct meaningful investigations of the
financial infrastructure supporting the major drug organizations. The resources
will fund financial investigative efforts, including intelligence-gathering,
document exploitation, and undercover operations. The resources will also
support 24 financial analysts dedicated to developing and analyzing critical
financial intelligence information. |
