You could just get statistics straight from the government agencies. USPI publishes how many people they arrest per year for getting drugs in the mail. Would be NICE IF WE HAD A DEDICATED INTELLIGENCE SUBFORUM FOR THE GROUP GATHERING AND ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION LIKE THIS, but for some reason everyone in any power position here completely ignores my request for this despite the clear benefits of having such a subforum http://www.postalinspectorsvideo.com/uspis/AnnualReport2010.pdf I think ICE publish statistics also....but fuck me digging it up (or digging through my massive collection of LE documents) for this forum if I can't even get an intelligence sub forum here in 2010 uspi had (for drug in the mail crimes) 1,075 investigations opened, 1,322 arrests, 481 indictments, 1,083 convictions that covers the majority of domestic arrests for drugs via mail....for international we will need to get ICE statistics. Go ahead and look for other nations also, I used to have shit from Australia and a few other places. We might need to get DEA statistics also but I think USPI is the primary agency that manages domestic drugs in the mail, and ICE is the primary agency that manages international packs. Although I think even if a pack passes customs it could still be snagged later on by USPI, ICE doesn't screen domestic to domestic mail though. Welcome to open source intelligence. edit: Hm on second thought this isn't the same as interceptions, since some of the people they busted obviously had multiple interceptions, and some were getting packs and some were sending packs out. It also includes drug money and paraphernalia. they do mention interception statistics specifically, but you will need to analyze this entire document as well as perhaps other documents/sources to get the complete statistics for the entire USA interception rate of USPI (not including love letters that do not lead to further investigation) about.usps.com/publications/pub162.pdf hm this article indicates that non-federal agencies are also involved with mail interceptions, but I have never heard of a local police agency initiating a drug pack interception unless USPI handed it off to them.... sorry to hijack your thread I guess but since there is no intelligence forum to put all this shit in what else can I do
