This fiscal year 1994 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Annual Statistical Report contains tables, graphs, and analyses of DEA domestic statistics.
Abstract
The report provides statistical information on fiscal year 1994 enforcement activity, including defendant arrests and dispositions, asset seizures and forfeitures, and drug seizures. Staffing figures and work-hour statistics provide information on resource allocation and expenditure. The statistics in this report reflect a reversal in most categories of the decreasing trend in statistical accomplishments observed during fiscal year 1993. The fiscal year 1994 DEA arrest figures, which increased 1.5 percent compared to fiscal year 1993, reflect a leveling off in a decline that was pronounced during fiscal year 1993 and the first half of fiscal year 1994. Compared to similar time periods during fiscal year 1992, arrests decreased by 12.6 percent during fiscal year 1993 and by 12 percent during the first half of fiscal year 1994. This decline was the expected effect of the decision to devote significant resources to long-term conspiracy cases. Fiscal year 1994 asset seizures were valued at more than $646 million, a decrease of 6.1 percent from 1993. Seizures of currency accounted for nearly one-half of asset seizures made during fiscal year 1994 both in number and in value. There was a 35-percent decrease in DEA heroin seizures submitted to DEA laboratories from 721.5 kilograms in fiscal year 1993 to 470.9 kilograms in fiscal year 1994. Cocaine seizures were up by 6.2 percent to 64,424.9 kilograms; cannabis seizures were up by 8.5 percent to 154,730.3 kilograms, and dangerous drug seizures were up by 88.1 percent to 157.7 million dosage units.
