DRUGS SUPPLY

Issued 09 October 2026

Illicit drug supply networks often involve the exploitation of the most vulnerable in society and increases wider crime and violence, which devastates our communities. We will work with the community and partner agencies, to continue identifying those at risk of exploitation and ensure they receive the best support possible, whilst relentlessly pursuing and arresting those criminals at all levels, from the local dealer, to those who control and hold drug lines, and organised crime groups.
