  • Develop our staff through continuous assessment and a structured training programme, supported by transparent human resource processes, with a view to ONDCP becoming a regionally recognised centre of excellence in the field of counter narcotics and money laundering work.
  • Provide an annual assessment of the threat facing Antigua & Barbuda from organised criminality engaged in narcotic trafficking, money laundering and associated offences.
  • Develop operational plans, detailing how ONDCP proposes to tackle the threats highlighted in the annual threat assessment.
