Association of Chief Police Officers of England, Wales and Northern Ireland
Drugs Conference 2008
17 - 19 November 2008
Europa Hotel, Belfast

Demands on the policing of drugs have never been greater, but to what extent has the use of drugs penetrated all aspects of our society and how can we enforce the rules?

With a full programme of plenary sessions and workshops, this year’s conference will provide a forward thinking forum for those tasked with tackling the harm caused by drugs.

Beyond the rule of law, this conference will examine how the rules of society combined with legislation can be used to assist law enforcement.

Topics will include:
  • Organised Drugs Crime
  • International Drug Threats
  • Drugs in Sport 
  • National Drugs Strategy
  • Drug Partnerships
  • Drug Crime in Ireland and Northern Ireland
  • Cocaine - From both a UK and Colombian Perspective
  • Cannabis Factories
  • Integrated Offender Management
  • Asset and cash seizure
  • The role of Law enforcement in Harm Reduction
