Abstract

This study examines alternative policies for improving information sharing among law enforcement (LE) agencies (both at the federal and local level) in their fight against drug trafficking. In doing so, it addresses the theories of interorganizational network (ION), resource dependency, and network exchange. In this study, the term “network” is used to define multiple-organizational relations involving multiple nodes of interactions. In a network, a group of organizations exchange information on a voluntary basis and engage in joint activities. The results of this study suggest that IONs can not only facilitate information sharing among LE agencies; they can also increase the dismantlement or disruption of drug trafficking organizations by a large percentage.
