Résumé
"This report summarizes the information
and analyses of police leaders on two major developments
on issues of drug enforcement: (1) the
epidemic of prescription pain medicine and heroin
abuse and related overdoses and fatalities, and (2)
the increasing decrimininalization of marijuana,
legalization of medical marijuana, and in two states,
legalization of recreational marijuana use.
Each development has required police agencies
to change their policies, practices, and entire ways
of thinking about drug enforcement issues."--Page 52.
