The 2008 annual conference was held from March 10th through the 14th in Bozeman. We had over 140 attendees on the 13th to hear Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman speak.

 

During the banquet we named Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Glenn Quinnell as the MNOA 2007 Narcotics Officer of the Year. Trooper Quinnell is pictured with his award.

 

 

The National Narcotic Officers' Associations' Coalition (NNOAC) is currently comprised of 40 individual state narcotic associations, the six RISS projects and the Territory of Puerto Rico representing more than 55,000 law enforcement officers from across the nation. It serves as an umbrella organization, coordinating the efforts of these associations in our nation’s capital. Each member association appoints a delegate to represent them at the NNOAC Board meetings. With, “one association, one vote”, every association receives equal representation regardless of the size of their association. The NNOAC is managed by an Executive Board, which consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Executive Director. Those positions are elected from within the ranks of the appointed delegates. The President appoints committees such as membership, drug policy and web-site, as well as regional directors to represent each region of the country.

The NNOAC represents its member associations by monitoring all relevant Federal legislation and policy. The Coalition focuses on domestic and international drug-related crime issues by developing and maintaining relationships with the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Regional Information Sharing System (RISS) and the National Guard Counter Drug Program and all other relevant agencies and programs.

The NNOAC allows state and local narcotic officers’ associations to work through their congressional delegations allowing for the unified voice in the nation’s capital. The Coalition actively researches, monitors, and supports legislature initiatives designed to increase the effectiveness of narcotic enforcement and law enforcement in general.
