NADDI’s objective is simple: to improve its members’ ability to investigate, prosecute, and prevent illicit drug diversion.

Introduction

Welcome to the Home Page of the Missouri Chapter of NADDI, also known as NADDI of Missouri. Our goals are to provide education and training that will help our members identify illicit drug activity; to enhance drug prevention and investigation practices; and to promote cooperation and networking between stakeholders.

NADDI of Missouri was established in 2011, and has consistently been an active chapter. Some of our members have been involved with NADDI from its inception. Our members are from local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, state regulatory agencies, healthcare fraud investigators and pharmacy loss prevention. All of our members provide valuable time, energy, and resources to curb the current drug epidemic in the State of Missouri.

NADDI of Missouri’s main objective is to provide networking and training for the State of Missouri. Our goal is to provide cooperative education and training in the current drug trends and specifics of illicit drug activity, including drug diversion, healthcare fraud, and techniques used for the investigation, prosecution and prevention within the state and nationwide.  We encourage the sharing of investigative information and communicating trends with our members. We strive to develop more effective measures to combat the illicit drug problem and enhance your individual job skills. We praise our members and the accomplishments of their efforts.

During the course of attaining that objective, NADDI of Missouri will promote an atmosphere of cooperation and sharing of information between members and their respective agencies.

Stay tuned, there is so much more to come!

NADDI of Missouri ~ Chapter History

Missouri was the 30th State to establish a chapter within the NADDI organization. The State Chapter was approved on June 24, 2011 and is an established State Chapter with a solid membership base. The Missouri State Chapter team has been diligently working on providing regular meetings, resources, and community events. They displayed Dougie the Drug Dog to a local community coalition event and engaged community leaders for their State Chapter training. The Missouri Chapter team has been proactive and we are open to new ideas and challenges; share your ideas with us! The Chapter has some exciting plans for the future, and we are looking forward to awesome things in 2025!
