Organization's Own Description:
The NNOAC was created in July of 1994 in Chicago, Illinois, when the leadership of many of the nation’s state narcotic officers’ associations came together as part of an effort to re-establish the Edward R. Byrne Memorial Fund. As a direct result of the NNOAC’s efforts and the efforts of many other concerned groups, funding was restored to this vital program.
The NNOAC is currently comprised of 40 individual state narcotic associations, the six RISS projects and the Territory of Puerto Rico representing more than 55,000 law enforcement officers from across the nation. It serves as an umbrella organization, coordinating the efforts of these associations in our nation’s capital. Each member association appoints a delegate to represent them at the NNOAC Board meetings. With, “one association, one vote”, every association receives equal representation regardless of the size of their association.
The NNOAC is managed by an Executive Board, which consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Executive Director. Those positions are elected from within the ranks of the appointed delegates. The President appoints committees such as membership, drug policy and web-site, as well as regional directors to represent each region of the country.
The NNOAC represents its member associations by monitoring all relevant Federal legislation and policy. The Coalition focuses on domestic and international drug-related crime issues by developing and maintaining relationships with the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) and the National Guard Counter Drug Program and all other relevant agencies and programs.
The NNOAC allows state and local narcotic officers’ associations to work through their congressional delegations allowing for the unified voice in the nation’s capital. The Coalition actively researches, monitors, and supports legislature initiatives designed to increase the effectiveness of narcotic enforcement and law enforcement in general.
