Welcome to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency

 

 

On behalf of Director Roy E. McKinney and the men & women of the Maine DEA, we are proud to present the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency 2021 Annual Report.

It is the policy of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency to provide for coordinated, collaborative drug enforcement effort throughout the State by establishing, maintaining, and operating regional investigative task force offices by experienced law enforcement officers selected from local, county and state law enforcement agencies to investigate crimes with a focus on drug sale and manufacturing offenses. The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency through its regional multi-jurisdictional task forces is the lead state agency confronting drug trafficking crime.

Highlights of 2021 activity, productivity, and cost-effectiveness by Maine Drug Enforcement District Task Forces include coordinating information sharing and assisting numerous departments, conducted 471 drug-related offense investigations, the participation of 42 law enforcement agencies with 70 federal, state, and local public safety members comprising the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency, participated in awareness and prevention efforts, removed 119 firearms connected to illegal activity, made 275 drug offense arrests, recovered over $987,712 in illegally gained cash and assets from drug traffickers, and removed illicit drugs with over $1,511,883 in wholesale value from the marketplace.
