The Off‌ice of National Drug Control Policy assists the President in establishing

policies, priorities, and objectives in the National Drug Control Strategy. It also

provides budget, program, and policy recommendations on the efforts of National

Drug Control Program agencies.

The Off‌ice of National Drug Control

Policy was established by the National

Narcotics Leadership Act of 1988 (21

U.S.C. 1501 et seq.), effective January

29, 1989, reauthorized through the

Off‌ice of National Drug Control Policy

Reauthorization Act of 1988 (21 U.S.C.

1701 et seq.), and again reauthorized

through the Off‌ice of National Drug

Control Policy Reauthorization Act of

2006 (21 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.).

The Director of National Drug Control

Policy is appointed by the President with

the advice and consent of the Senate.

The Director is assisted by a Deputy

Director, a Deputy Director for Demand

Reduction, a Deputy Director for Supply

Reduction, and a Deputy Director for

State, Local, and Tribal Affairs.

The Director is responsible for

establishing policies, objectives,

priorities, and performance

measurements for the National Drug

Control Program, as well as for annually

promulgating drug control strategies and

supporting reports and a program budget,

which the President submits to Congress.

The Director advises the President

regarding necessary changes in the

organization, management, budgeting,

and personnel allocation of Federal

agencies enforcing drug activities. The

Director also notif‌ies Federal agencies if

their policies do not comply with their

responsibilities under the National Drug

Control Strategy. Additionally, the Off‌ice

has direct programmatic responsibility

for the Drug-Free Communities Program,

the National Youth Anti-Drug Media

Campaign, the various programs under

the Counter-Drug TechnologyAssessment

Center, and the High Intensity Drug

Traff‌icking Areas Program.
