The mission of the MOSMART Project is to reduce the production and use of methamphetamine by having the availability of additional meth investigators working the field statewide; training law enforcement in the recognition, collection, removal, and destruction of methamphetamine; funding public awareness programs; and making presentations on the methamphetamine drug problem at schools. Through MOSMART, assistance is provided to law enforcement in protecting local communities from the methamphetamine epidemic.
