About the Oklahoma
State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs
The Oklahoma State Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control is a law enforcement
agency with a goal of minimizing the abuse of controlled substances through law enforcement measures directed primarily at
drug trafficking, illicit drug manufacturing, and major suppliers of illicit drugs.
The following divisions make up the OBNDD: Diversion, Intelligence, and Enforcement.
DIVERSION DIVISION
The Diversion Division of OBN investigates
cases in which legally manufactured and distributed pharmaceutical controlled substances are diverted into an illegal market.
Agents are trained to conduct complex investigations and audit professional handlers of controlled drugs. Because of the regulatory
nature of these kinds of controlled substances, Agents work on both criminal and administrative cases.
INTELLIGENCE DIVISION
The Oklahoma State Bureau
of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control Intelligence Division utilizes specialized techniques in conjunction with traditional
drug enforcement investigative methods to address prioritized significant drug trafficking organizations.
ENFORCEMENT DIVISION
The Bureau's largest section
contains Agents at each district office and at headquarters who primarily enforce Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes and applicable
federal statutes under Title 21 of the United States Code. The Agents not only conduct small undercover drug purchases, but
also investigate multi-jurisdictional complex conspiracy cases, which require criminal investigative expertise. Marijuana
eradication is a primary of Enforcement Agents. However, because of new, simpler methamphetamine recipes surfacing, these
Agents are spending greater amounts of time investigating the manufacturing and sale of domestically-produced methamphetamine.
