New illicit drugs are rapidly entering Idaho. Law enforcement and public health officials cannot afford to wait until citizens die or become disabled to learn about the incidence and emergence of harmful illicit substances trafficked in our communities. Local, county and state officials must have the data necessary for emergency response planning and regional coordination. De-identified drug testing data is an untapped intelligence resource for real time tracking of illicit addictive drugs across jurisdictions. Restricted access to a web portal containing geo-marked and de-identified substance tracking data will supply officials with vital real-time information about the threat to public health and safety posed by illicit drugs.
$300,000 to create and operate the illicit drug tracking portal.
