INTRODUCTION

1. Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), under the purview of the Prime Ministers’ Office, is the leading agency in combatting narcotic crimes in Brunei Darussalam and serves as the coordinator  of  any  anti-drug  related  programmes  as  well  as  a  focal  point  of cooperation with other law enforcement agencies on drug related matters at regional and international level.

2. NCB aims to completely eradicate the abuse of drugs and intoxicating substances through the strategy of supply and demand reduction by adopting the two policies:-

• The reduction of supply through the preventive of the entry of drugs either through legal or illegal point of entry;
• The  reduction  of  demand  through  effective  activities  such  as  preventive  drug education, supervision and rehabilitation.
