Text 2 Tackling the Drugs That Cause the Greatest Harm

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) use intelligence and bring together the Border and Immigration Agency to provide better integrated border controls. Implementing UK border controls overseas is very effective in reducing drug trafficking. Joint operations between other countries significantly reduced the number of drug swallowers arriving in the UK. The government plans to create similar partnerships with other governments in the supply chain.

For example, it will develop the effectiveness of international co-operation through established multilateral organizations, such as the United Nations and the European Union.

A recent successful example of such co-operation is the establishment of the Maritime Analysis and Operation Centre - Narcotics (MAOC-N), based in Lisbon. This brings together seven countries, including the UK, to gather intelligence and mount joint operations against shipments of cocaine crossing the Atlantic.

Actions to tackle drug supply within the UK involve the collaboration of a range of national and international partners.

The ten-year drug strategy (2008-2018) established in the UK aims to restrict the supply of illegal drugs and reduce the demand for them. It focuses on protecting families and strengthening communities.

The four steps of work within the strategy are:

  • protecting communities through tackling drug supply, drug-related crime and anti-social behaviour;

  • preventing harm to children, young people and families affected by drug misuse;

  • delivering new approaches to drug treatment and social re-integration;

  • public information campaigns, communications and community engagement.

This strategy shows that the government is doing everything to reduce problematic drug use among young people.
