The Drug Investigation unit at a local police department typically has as its chief goal
on conducting investigation with the intent of accomplishing two aims: arresting Drug
dealers, and taking or seizing assets gained through criminal and illegal measures by those
same drug dealers. In many localities, law enforcement primarily seeks to direct their efforts
towards wholesale or mid-level drug dealers, in particular. However, a drug

,investigation could encompass the arrest of street-level drug dealers, closing “crack
houses,” and/or arresting large-scale, kilogram-level drug dealers, as well. These drug
investigation units investigate all types of criminal narcotics dealings. As a result, all
narcotics such marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, ecstasy, and illegal
drugs obtained by prescription are all subject to drug investigations.
Drug investigations are often conducted by the drugs and vice divisions of local
country or state-level police departments. Often, the drug investigations departments
are the largest ones in such divisions by the sheer number of police officers, funding
and resources. In some localities, there are no less than 20 officers or detectives
dedicated to these very drug investigations. The operations of these divisions are
supported by funds that pay investigation expenses, such as drug purchase money or
informant payments. Drug investigation units commence investigation based on the
information they receive from their sources, which include officers on street, members of
the community, confidential informants, and other multiple agencies involved in law
enforcement. Many drug enforcement agencies and police department units or divisions
work to gather intelligence and interpret that intelligence as part of their ongoing law
enforcement efforts. These professionals create and update intelligence.
Databases on drug offenders and the trends in drugs and drug-related crimes in

Information received by police departments units and divisions derives from local
community members. It is concerned citizen who is likely to provide law enforcement
with invaluable intelligence at the local or ground level. Such citizens are able to provide
information and intelligence while remaining completely anonymous. Many law

not tape record phone conversations from callers providing tips, intelligence, and
information. They have been conducted different police operational plans in barangay San
Isidro, Taytay, Rizal. This Anti-Criminality operations where established in barangay San
Isidro, Taytay, Rizal where most numbers of crimes such as Theft, Robbery, Violation of
Municipal Ordinances and the most serious problem in our country which is Drugs.
Drug addiction is not only a domestic problem but also a worldwide issue. Its
rapid increase from being the cause and effect of the problem is one of the main
reasons of the unstable and slow development of the country. Rampant consumption of
illegal drugs and criminal acts related to drug addiction are some of the major problems
faced by the Philippine society. The Philippine government is fully aware of the
menacingly increasing cases of drug abuse within the country; thus, it has been very
rigid in the fight against the cause. Different anti-drug laws, agencies and campaigns
are created by the government to address drug abuse. Republic Act 9165, otherwise
known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, was promulgated by the
Philippine Government to safeguard its citizen from the harmful effects of dangerous
drugs. To ensure a more efficient implementation of the said act, it has provided the
local government units with authority to formulate, enact and implement programs to
control the increase of drug abuse within their locality. To guarantee a more effective
implementation and enforcement of this Act to all the localities, a campaign is made to
ensure its successful enforcement and implementation.
