High Risk Areas Of Drugs Addiction

High Risk Areas are focus areas that have been identified, the occurrence of drug addiction based on 60% of the population under supervision (OKP) nationwide and it is also an area that contributes to social problems such as social diversion and drug addiction-related crime. The determination of a high risk area is based on four main indicators, namely (Orang Kena Pengawasan-OKP), Suspected Drug Addicts (Orang Yang Disyaki-OYDS), New Addicts, and Community Readiness Level. AADK has re-demarcated in 2020 and has identified 155 KBTs nationwide. The breakdown of the area is as follows:

1. 122 residents
2. 8 zone (WPKL)
3. 3 sub-zones (WP Labuan)
