Drug law enforcement agencies are not empowered to

Drug law enforcement agencies are not empowered to execute drug suspects. This means that drug law enforcement agencies are not allowed to carry out death sentences or extrajudicial killings of individuals suspected of drug-related crimes. Instead, they are tasked with the responsibility of investigating and arresting drug barons, prosecuting drug traffickers in a court of law, and rehabilitating drug addicts. The use of lethal force is only permitted in cases of self-defense or when the life of a law enforcement officer is in danger.
