Law Enforcement operating in these counties that are not currently established as an initiative of the Ohio HIDTA, but are interested in consideration should contact the Ohio HIDTA Executive Director for information related to that process.

Law Enforcement operating in counties that are not already established as Ohio HIDTA designated areas that wish to apply for HIDTA designation must submit a formal proposal for consideration.  The link below has information related to the Process for Designation.  The Ohio HIDTA Executive Board reviews all proposals received to determine which, if any, will be presented for consideration to the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).  This process occurs only once per calendar year.  Proposals for consideration should be sent to the Ohio HIDTA Executive Director by no later than March 31^st of each year.  It is best to include as many statistics as possible from the previous calendar year in the submission.  Those interested should contact the Ohio HIDTA Executive Director for further information and guidance.
