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 Virginia Chapter of NADDI, also known as NADDI of Virginia. 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 Virginia was established in 2002, 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 Virginia.

NADDI of Virginia’s main objective is to provide networking and training for the State of Virginia. 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.

NADDI of Virginia has always been at the forefront in providing quality training for drug investigations and current trends. During the infancy of the chapter, the National Board of Directors and the Virginia members partnered with the Virginia State Police to provide an annual Basic Diversion School, a one-of-its-kind school. We are proud to acknowledge that this partnership is celebrating its 25th year with NADDI. We are grateful for dedication and hard work that has made this partnership a viable resource for law enforcement across the nation. Excellent job Virginia Chapter!

During the course of attaining that objective, NADDI of Virginia 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!
