HOW WE WORK WITH THIS FRAMEWORK

Narcotics Trafficking Intelligence

Pacific 7-0 narcotics threat intelligence is structured around DEA's National Drug Threat Assessment (NDTA) framework, providing institutional clients with operationally relevant analysis of trafficking routes, cartel structures, and emerging synthetic drug threats.

Organized Crime Nexus Analysis

Our organized crime intelligence products map cartel and criminal network structures against DEA's Consolidated Priority Organization Target (CPOT) list methodology, enabling clients to understand the full scope of transnational criminal enterprises.

Drug-Related Financial Crime

Anti-money laundering engagements reference DEA's financial investigation frameworks, tracing narco-proceeds through bulk cash smuggling, trade-based laundering, and cryptocurrency channels.

Narco-Terrorism Assessment

Threat assessments covering the nexus between drug trafficking organizations and terrorist groups follow DEA's narco-terrorism investigation protocols, providing clients with integrated analysis of hybrid criminal-political threats.
