U.s. Department Of Justice

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is a United States Department of Justice law enforcement agency. Their purposes in law enforcement is to stop the sale of illegal drugs, drug trafficking, investigate major crimes within the United States and internationally, and to secure and protect our communities from ever confronting drugs. DEA also cooperates with many major law enforcement agencies such as federal, state, local, and foreign law enforcement agencies to stop criminals from smuggling drugs in our neighborhoods and help the people from getting involved with drug substance. Other responsibilities include carrying out missions and responsibilities in investigating major crimes, and detain drug

In the United States, health care accessibility, quality, and affordability continue to be ongoing topics of discussion that effect many Americans on a regular basis. The need for affordable, quality healthcare continues to grow, not only due to a growing elderly population, but also as a result of the Affordable Care Act which has allowed millions of previously uninsured Americans access to health insurance and therefor better access to healthcare services (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 2010). According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM) the projected demand increased for healthcare have led to a call for expansion of primary care services by policy makers (Institute of Medicine, 2010; National Governors Association, 2012). Since Advanced Practice Nurses or Nurse Practitioners (APNs or NPs will be used interchangeably for the purpose of this paper) are one of the fastest growing groups of healthcare providers, and continue to practice and provide care in a range of settings including primary care, it is important to investigate and address any potential barriers to practice. This author believes that allowing APNs to write prescriptions for commonly used controlled substances will help improve timeliness and flexibility in health care delivery; studies have shown that there is a positive impact on high

First, the state licensure regulates NP practice and it has been a big issue since NPs are not able to practice to the fullest extent despite of their education and training. NPs practice is regulated by state licensure and only about one-third of the nation has adopted full practice authority licensure and practice laws for NPs (Hain & Fleck, 2014). The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) reports that, under a full practice authority model, NPs are still required to meet

In 1971 President Nixon declared an all-out war on drugs, now over a million non-violent drug offenders live behind bars. The war on drugs has been the longest, most costly, and destructive war in the US history as of today (Booth , 2007). The war on drugs focuses on the poor people, and not the bankers that launder the money. In 1973 Nixon created the DEA, which stands for Drug Enforcement Agency. The DEA is a federal agency responsible for enforcing laws and regulations governing narcotics, and controlled substances. Their job is to immobilize drug trafficking organizations. When Nixon declared the war on drugs in 1971, the federal budget was 101 million dollars, going into the year 2000; the federal budget allegation was 20 billion dollars. Half of what we spend in the court systems and prison is drug related (Booth , 2007).

In the twenty-first century there is a plethora of drugs distributing from Mexico to the United States all the way to Canada causing numerous people to be sentenced to prison, to depart from their families, and to even die. Luckily, there is one law enforcement agency created by the U.S. government to banish these horrible facets, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Breaking down and destroying drug empires, arresting the kingpin leaders of illegal narcotics, and trying to put an end to this terrorizing crime. Drug cartels have always been an enormous issue all across the globe, but the DEA is like the superhero trying to fight

Whilst the DEA authorises the aforementioned bodies to access the substances, it ultimately retains control and ownership over the substances. All distribution is thoroughly recorded through from manufacture, to use or

To start, it is important to know both the federal and state laws. They both cover a broad range of drug-related crimes. So basically, federal drug laws are enforced by officers in the DEA, FBI, Secret Service, and US Treasury Department. On the other hand, state level drug laws are enforced by county, local, and state

There is an increasing demand for nurse practitioners, which makes this a crucial period in the development of their practice and profession. Nurse practitioners must face increased opportunity and continuing opposition towards independent practice all while defining their role in health care delivery and establishing their connections. The practice of nurse practitioners still varies widely across the states. These inconsistencies make it difficult for nurse practitioners as well as patients when practice

Emergency management (EM) addresses how government prepares for, mitigates against, responds to, and recovers from emergencies and disasters. The law regulating this area changes frequently with the goal of improving our ability to prevent loss of life and property; however, a recent legal development has not only hampered emergency management response efforts, but it also threatens to harm the very vulnerable portion of society it is intended to benefit. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has recently adopted an aggressive stance toward enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). First, the legal history leading up to this development will be examined. Second, this new focus and several recent DOJ cases will be

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) collects and disseminates information about foreign countries and their citizens. They warn the president about international attacks that may happen. The National Security Agency (NSA) protects information and cryptology making and breaking secret codes for the transfer of information. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) they investigate the drug trafficking, drug rings, and smuggling. They usually work on the Canadian and Mexican border. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) they enforce immigration and custom laws, protect certain federal buildings, and

Nixon saw the need to coordinate the efforts of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) and the US Customs Service so that there would be a more efficient enforcement of drug laws and regulations. The creation of the DEA has resulted in an emphasis on the law enforcement aspect of the drug problem. This strategy can be seen in the time period from the mid eighties until the present time through an ever-increasing budget of the DEA and local drug enforcement agencies in each state. The National Drug Control budget equals $20 millons and state expenditures in 2000 are over $20 billion dollars per year, which is dramatically up from a figure of slightly above $2 billion dollars in 1980 (Source #1). The 2000% increase in spending has done little to deter the amount of heroin that is trafficked into the US annually

In a day and age of technology and progression the world keeps turning and pushing forward, but we somehow seem to be grounded in the past. Why? Well, as this is advancing, scientist's invented new creations yet, we are still trapped in the world where drugs are “acceptable” and our generation has grown up to live with the misconception that consuming drugs in any way is “normal”. Drug induced deaths have exponentially increased throughout the past years , an extensive amount of those death are overdoses cause by prescribed medication. This is something that has and will continue to affect our society and its crime rate. A Drug Enforcement Administration Agent is someone who has the authority to make a change and help not only people but
