U.S. Rep. Pete Visclosky, D-1st, is welcoming the decision to add LaPorte County and Marion County to the Lake County High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).

“I am proud to have worked since day one to secure and support a federal HIDTA designation for Lake County, and the subsequent addition of Porter County,” Visclosky said. “I am pleased today that by expanding the Lake County HIDTA to include LaPorte and Marion Counties, we will be able to further improve our ability to regionally coordinate federal funding and intelligence resources to address the transportation corridors of drug traffickers and keep our communities safe.”

A HIDTA designation makes federal funds and other resources available for targeted and cooperative interdiction operations.
