Updated Synthetic Drugs Online Module is available for self-paced learning

CEPOL is pleased to announce that the updated online module on Synthetic Drugs is available on its online learning platform, LEEd.

The Synthetic Drugs module targets law enforcement officials including police, customs and prosecutors engaged in fighting drug crime, in particular the production, smuggling and selling of synthetic drugs. It introduces the main types of synthetic drugs, NPS and related chemicals, and describes their production, trafficking and availability on the internet/darknet. It also covers the investigation of cases.

With the expert input from our colleagues from the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), all external links in the module now lead you to the latest and updated versions of important online resources for law enforcement authorities and judicial officers in the joint effort to combat synthetic drugs:

• European Drug Report 2021;
