Editor’s Note This textbook is part of the “Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations” series. This series was created by Vernon J.Geberth, New York City Police Department Lieutenant Commander (Retired), who is an author, educator, and consultant on homicide and forensic investigation. This series has been designed to provide contemporary, comprehensive, and pragmatic information to the practitioner involved in criminal and forensic investigation by authors who are nationally recognized experts in their respective fields. Preface Unlike other criminal investigation books that only devote a chapter or two to the topic, Global Drug Enforcement: Practical Investigative Techniques is devoted entirely to this specialized field of proactive criminal investigation. This book replicates and greatly expands on many of the topics both new and in-service employees of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) receive in their training. This book serves the needs of criminal justice majors, federal agents, police officers, detectives newly assigned to a drug unit, police training institutions, and members of the legal profession who want to expand their knowledge in the field. It serves equally well as a reference for many foreign police officials who are charged with enforcing their country’s drug laws. There are two major parts. The first deals in the fundamentals of drug investigation and includes comprehensive chapters on drug identification, undercover operations, and the handling of confidential informants. The second part is devoted to complex drug cases with chapters on conspiracy investigations, clandestine laboratories, intelligence, and money laundering. There is also a glossary of common terms used in drug enforcement, as well as two chapters devoted to the similarities in conducting drug and terrorism investigations, and the nexus between drugs and terrorism. Drug agents know that winning the war on drugs contributes significantly to winning the war on terrorism since drug profits fund many terrorism events. Throughout the work, I use the term drug agent, which is synonymous with investigator, detective, officer, or any other title used by law enforcement personnel who perform drug investigations. During my 30-year career in law enforcement, I have taught drug enforcement and terrorism topics both to new and in-service federal agents, state and local police officers, foreign police officials, and members of the U.S. intelligence community. While a special agent with the DEA’s Office of Training at the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA, I traveled to Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and the Middle East as a member of an international training team. I discovered each region I visited had a common thirst for more, detailed knowledge on the subject that could not be found in print medium. This textbook was written, in part, to help provide domestic and international law enforcement ix officers with a one-stop reference source on contemporary drug enforcement. The investigative techniques revealed in this textbook should work well in most nations, regardless of their judicial system.
