<br/><br/> "In the unending task of stanching the flow of drugs from South America into Puerto Rico, law enforcement lately has scored some successes. Federal agents, working with foreign governments, have dismantled several South American trafficking organizations, arresting drug kingpins once thought to be untouchable in their home countries. The U.S. Coast Guard seized a record haul of illegal narcotics last year [2004], nearly doubling the amount of cocaine and marijuana confiscated in the Caribbean. But for all the law-enforcement progress, drugs remain readily available in Puerto Rico. And the killing over who profits continues." (ORLANDO SENTINEL) This article discusses the challenges confronting Puerto Rico's law enforcement agencies in their fight against illegal drugs.
