Summary:

This is the last in a series of GAO reports on the U.S. Customs Service. As one of more than 50 federal agencies involved in the War on Drugs, Customs is responsible for stopping the flow of illegal drugs across the U.S. border. In addition to routine inspections to detect illegal drugs, Customs' drug interdiction program includes national initiatives, investigations, and other activities unique to specific ports. This report identifies and describes the key elements, personnel and equipment resources, budget and operational costs, enhancements of Operation Hard Line (Customs' current effort to address border violence and drug smuggling), and measures of effectiveness of Custom's national drug interdiction program, as well as its Special Agent-in-Charge offices and selected ports in the Miami and San Diego areas.
