Shifting Frontiers: Mexico's Drug Trade & National Security with Kevin Ofchus

Written by Michael Brown | Aug 1, 2023 10:39:00 PM

The U.S. war on terror has shifted - from Afghanistan and terrorism to Mexico and deadly drugs.  The discussion on terrorism is calling for Mexican drug cartels to be reclassified as narco-terrorist organizations and fentanyl as a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance.

Kevin Ofchus, CEO at HNPSWA, former DEA special agent, and repeat guest - joins us to help break down some of these issues.  With years of hands-on experience at the forefront of the war on terror, Kevin dives into what differentiates today's challenges from previous adversaries.

Join us as we discuss: 

  • Defining and addressing national security threats
  • Leveraging AI as a tool for tracking and fighting the opioid epidemic
  • Building a blueprint for interagency collaboration for addressing threats
