U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Dallas Field Division Training Unit

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Dallas Field Division is committed to the very best anti-drug training, not only for DEA personnel, but also for our State and Local law enforcement counterparts in northern Texas and the State of Oklahoma.

Every year the DEA Dallas Field Division presents a variety of training courses, the most prominent being the DEA Basic Narcotics Investigatior's Course. This two-week program is designed for police officers new to drug law enforcement. The attendees will be given current and relevant information in a variety of topics, including: Drug Identification; Surveillence Techniques; Interview and Interrogation; Raid Planning and Execution; Asset Forfeiture; Undercover Techniques; Informant Management; and, Conspiracy Law. As a progression, the DEA Advance Narcotics Investigator's Course presents more highly developed drug information in a 3-4 day program. The Advanced Course is designed for drug law enforcement officers with at least two years of experience who need to learn how to target organizations above the street-level dealers.

In addition to the above courses, the DEA Dallas Field Division presents an assortment of other programs throughout northern Texas and Oklahoma. We can develop a program to address the particular needs of the counter-drug investigators in your agency.

Drug trafficking organizations are always changing their methods of operation to continue making profits. If we are to be effective in disrupting these organizations we need to not only stay abreast of current trends, but we also need to continue working together and sharing resources. It is only through this cooperation that we can provide the quality of service that our citizens demand and deserve. The Dallas Field Division Training Unit stands ready to assist in your training needs to further our collective counter-drug mission.
