    Bravo!!!!
    What an incredible job.
    Kudos to the agency Officers and Men for being proactive and also ahead of the barons in tactics and antics. May the Lord Almighty continue to protect them in this wonderful assignment of eliminating illicit substances in and out of the country. Drug abuse and trafficking is a menace that must be fought wholeheartedly by all the stakeholders.
