MISSION STATEMENT
We are an elite vanguard
of American law enforcement professionals pursuing our Nation's counter-drug
agenda on behalf of the citizens we serve. We seek to protect the public
from the negative consequences of drug trafficking and abuse through prioritized
enforcement and regulatory actions that identify, disrupt and dismantle
the most significant drug trafficking organizations in our area of operation.
We effectively use all-source intelligence and the most modern technology
to target, arrest and successfully prosecute those drug violators who
have the most significant impact on this type of illicit and illegal traffic.
We seek to deny these criminals access to the financial profits that result
from this illegal activity, and to dismantle the infrastructure that would
allow others to engage in this criminal enterprise. We recognize our role
as an elite enforcement agency, but remain cognizant of the importance
of reducing the demand for drugs of abuse and the need for us to use our
expertise to educate the public. We pursue our objective with great urgency,
but are committed for the long term. We are bound together in this noble
endeavor by our renowned camaraderie and our unwavering commitment to
succeed.
Our personal and
professional ethics and integrity are beyond reproach and we represent
our Nation and our agencies with distinction. Our mission is extra-ordinary
in nature and is transnational in scope. Our numbers are few and our challenges
many, thus we recognize and value the strategic importance of cooperative
relationships in law enforcement. On an individual level, we demonstrate
unrelenting effort, professional excellence, personal courage, and selfless
service. We demonstrate success through actions rather than words. We
make efficient use of scarce resources and base our decisions and actions
on detailed, accurate and timely intelligence. We are proactive, agile,
innovative and results oriented. Moreover, we are tenacious and will not
rest until we have gained our objective. We value and reward exceptional
leadership and sound management. Our support staff is similarly committed
to our objectives and meaningfully contributes by providing effective
and efficient administrative and support services. We will fully coordinate
our activities and advance America's counter-drug agenda as a team.

I.M.P.A.C.T. drug enforcement makes a difference."
