Abstract: In 1987, the Bureau of Justice Assistance funded demonstrations by five law enforcement agencies to develop and implement clandestine laboratory enforcement programs (CLEPs); the models illustrated the importance of designing a multidisciplinary approach to clandestine laboratory enforcement.

CLEPs must address safety, environmental, and health issues, in addition to the planning and organization problems faced by traditional narcotics task forces. This monograph is designed to help law enforcement officials plan, organize, and manage a comprehensive CLEP.

Roane, Kit R. "A New Deal in the Drug War, Sort Of." U.S. News and World Report .
Abstract: Left with decades old laws mandating tough sentences for drug offenders that not only seem unjust, but are terribly expensive, former Senator John Dunne leads a campaign to reverse the New York laws that he backed in 1973. Voters in California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Oregon approved ballot initiatives softening drug laws. Now, governors and legislators in at least four other states, including New York, are poised to do the same. In states across the nation there is a push towards emphasizing treatment over tough sentences. The White House, however, favors curbing supply and reducing demand, with emphasis on treatment a possibility. Changes in drug policies and the approach to fighting the war on drugs are occuring that will likely have a ripple effect on state policies nationwide.
