Midwest HIDTA Logo (Jan. 19, 2024) – The Midwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Investigative Support Center and the Midwest HIDTA Overdose Response Strategy teams are requesting assistance from health care providers and stakeholders in completing a survey. Responses will be used to inform the Midwest HIDTA's annual Threat Assessment. The Office of National Drug Control Policy oversees the HIDTA program and requires the individual HIDTA programs to discuss the drug threats in their area of responsibility in an annual threat assessment. The Midwest HIDTA greatly appreciates the aid in completing the Midwest HIDTA Threat Assessment. For best results in completing the survey, it is highly recommended you complete the entire survey at one time. If you have trouble, please contact either Katie Sheets at (816) 891-5274 or Larisa Allen at (816) 891-5200. The Midwest HIDTA requests the voluntary survey be completed by Friday, Feb. 2, 2024.
