This paper presents indicators of methamphetamine use and distribution in the Minneapolis metropolitan region. It also describes a multi-faceted law enforcement response to the emerging methamphetamine problem. The paper concludes by identifying a set of research challenges to measuring the extent of a drug problem, tracking law enforcement interventions, and assessing the impact of the interventions on the drug problem.
