"The El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) is a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) led and funded intelligence center, located in El Paso, Texas near Juarez, Mexico. EPIC focuses its programs on the federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies information they can use in investigations and operations that target smuggling and other criminal activities." -- Executive digest.
"When it was established in 1974, EPIC focused primarily on Mexican heroin traffickers and illegal alien and weapon smugglers. EPIC's focus today is broader, providing an intelligence resource that targets a wider ranger of criminal activity. EPIC's mission has evolved in response to a shift in focus to Southwest border smuggling and associated violence, and the need for improved collaboration and timely information sharing among law enforcement and intelligence agencies. EPIC currently hosts representatives from 21 different agencies and provides to over 19,000 law enforcement officers and analysts who are approved EPIC users." -- Executive digest.
