The Seneca Nation Drug Taskforce (SNDT) began meeting in the summer of 2020. We are comprised of Seneca Nation executives, executive staff, Seneca Nation Marshals and a variety of Seneca mothers and members from our communities.

In order to accomplish this goal, we partner with community organizations in our region, as well as local, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
