The twelve-county Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA (LMA HIDTA) is located within the seventh largest metropolitan area in the United States, comprising six million people. Approximately 100 million additional people live within a one-day drive of the Philadelphia metropolitan area, a key drug transshipment zone along the Interstate 95 Northeast Corridor.

LMA HIDTA has 31 separate law enforcement initiatives (Task Forces) with over 90 participating agencies that share intelligence and information targeting street level narcotics dealers to international smuggling cartels; violent criminal organizations trafficking guns and drugs; Federal, state and local fugitives; sophisticated money laundering organizations; freight and parcel interdiction; and cyber enabled criminal organizations distributing narcotics and concealing their activities through encrypted apps and cryptocurrencies.

LMA HIDTA has increased its focus on evidence-based substance use prevention with the addition of a Prevention Coordinator for the region; and continued support of the National HIDTA Overdose Response Strategy (ORS), pairing a Public Health Analyst funded by the CDC Foundation with a HIDTA funded Drug Intelligence Officer in each state within the area of responsibility (AOR).
