Drug Enforcement Administration fights criminals with intelligence
This week, host Ruben Gomez talks with Tony Placido, Chief of Intelligence at the DEA. July 8, 2010
July 8, 2010 — When you think of the intelligence community, the Drug Enforcement Administration may not ring a bell. But it should.
Today’s guest played an instrumental role in readmitting the DEA back into the 17-member Intelligence Community.
Tony Placido, DEA Chief of Intelligence, manages a workforce of about 900 intelligence analysts whose job includes following leads on worldwide drug activity. In some cases, this activity may be tied to terrorism.
Our discussion includes:
- How the intelligence unit fits into DEA’s mission
- Information-sharing activities with federal, state and local partners
- Plans for hiring
