The Utah SIAC Organized Crime Threat Management Team focuses on emerging threats to the State of Utah from transnational and domestic drug trafficking organizations, criminal gangs, human trafficking/human smuggling organizations and organized criminal fraud groups. The Organized Crime Threat Management Team provides operational and investigative support to law enforcement task forces; as well as provides a strategic outlook on identified threat areas for state and local law enforcement leadership.

The Utah Drug Monitoring Initiative (DMI) was developed by the SIAC to provide a historical review of the impact of illicit and prescription drugs to the State of Utah, as well as identify emerging substances or trends that pose a threat to public health and public safety in Utah. Primary focus in the program is given to threats from opioids, which includes prescription medication, heroin, fentanyl, and other synthetic substances that continue to emerge. In addition, DMI focuses on the threat from methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana use and distribution throughout Utah. The Utah DMI supports information sharing through the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy’s (ONDCP) Opioid Response Strategy (ORS) program, the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program, and the Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Key Partnerships in the DMI program include multiple state and local law enforcement and agencies, as well as:
