Drug Crimes

Reported criminal drug offences under Ley 20.000 — trafficking, micro-trafficking and cultivation — disaggregated by commune from official CEAD police statistics. Public drug consumption is classified separately by CEAD under Disorder.

Note: this is CEAD’s "Drug Crimes" family — criminal offences under Ley 20.000 (trafficking, micro-trafficking and cultivation). It is a low-volume, mostly police-detected category. Public drug or alcohol consumption is classified by CEAD under Disorder, not here, so this figure understates total drug-related police activity.
