The mission of the Governor’s Office of Drug Control and the Statewide Drug Policy Advisory Council is to establish and institutionalize statewide drug control policy-making based on a process of long-range planning, information gathering, strategic decision-making, continuous oversight, and inter-agency coordinated funding. Governor Crist recently signed the Florida Drug Control Strategy which is the most far-reaching initiative in the history of Florida’s efforts to combat the devastation of substance abuse.
