ABSTRACT
What is the role of an interdiction group supervisor? What should he bring to the table with respect to knowledge, training, people skills, and administrative skills? As with all supervision, he or she should play the role of mentor, facilitator, and leader, and set good solid examples for his personnel. The first line supervisor, whether a sergeant or group supervisor, should play a significant role in supervising a domestic interdiction group. This work presents a unique set of circumstances that differs from traditional narcotic enforcement. The programs that have been outlined here provide readers with a glimpse of what it takes to implement strategies and training, along with the partnering of a variety of businesses and companies and using innovative techniques to combat the drug problem in their communities.
