Our Mission

The West Texas HIDTA Investigative support center (ISC) provides a seamless intelligence support system for all law enforcement operational initiatives and units within our region. It is a multi-agency system that provides timely and actionable information to law enforcement officers, Federal Agents, and Intelligence Analysts.  De-confliction (RISSafe) services provided by the ISC improve officer safety and maximize the efficient use of our partner agency resources. As a central hub for LEA intelligence sharing and dissemination, the ISC directly supports our partners’ efforts in disrupting and dismantling drug trafficking organizations at the highest levels.

Watch Center

The West Texas HIDTA ISC is the RISSafe Watch Center for West Texas and Southern New Mexico.

The RISSafe Officer Safety Deconfliction System is an essential component in helping to ensure that our officers remain safe. Investigative efforts, such as undercover operations, often create the potential for conflict between agencies or officers who are unknowingly working in close proximity to each other. In other cases, agencies or officers may be coordinating an event focusing on the same subject at the same time. In either case, agencies or officers may interfere with each other’s cases, causing investigative efforts to be disrupted or, worse, officers to be unintentionally hurt or killed. The use of an officer safety event deconfliction system provides for controlled and secure monitoring of these operations and the immediate notification of affected parties when conflicts arise.

Case Support

The West Texas HIDTA ISC provides case support to Law Enforcement Officers and Agents in the West Texas region through investigative and analytical aid, investigative leads, and target and event deconfliction service.
