PROGRAM & POSITION OVERVIEW
The High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program1 seeks to reduce the production, smuggling, distribution, and use of illegal drugs adversely affecting the United States. In furtherance of this, Northwest HIDTA promotes collaboration by and between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies to identify and address established priorities. The approach to reducing the drug threat — and its harmful effects — is diverse and achieved, in part, through operational law enforcement efforts, intelligence gathering and sharing, prevention and treatment programs, and education and training initiatives.
Northwest HIDTA seeks a well-qualified program assistant to work closely with the management team and stakeholders alike to accomplish a wide range of administrative related functions. The incumbent will further the program’s mission by providing a high-level of organizational and operational support.
The program assistant position is that of an independent contractor. Continued employment is at the discretion of Northwest HIDTA’s executive director, evaluated yearly, and contingent on government grant funding.
