During proactive enforcement, officers collect information to initiate what type of operation focused on drug networks?

• A. Narcotics investigation
• B. Discovery approach
• C. Weapons violation
• D. Case filing/deposition

Answer: (A)

Proactive enforcement aims to disrupt drug networks by actively gathering information to start a formal investigation into illicit drug activity. This type of operation focuses on identifying suppliers, distribution routes, methods, and associates, so investigators can target the network behind the drug activity rather than merely reacting to incidents. That’s why a narcotics investigation is the best fit—it encompasses the organized effort to uncover and dismantle drug distribution networks.

Other options don’t fit because a discovery approach is about uncovering information within an existing case rather than initiating a new operation aimed at drug networks; a weapons violation focuses on illegal weapon-related crimes; and case filing/deposition refers to legal steps after an investigation, not the proactive operation targeting drug networks.
