The Tobacco Law Enforcement Network (TLEN) was founded by veteran law enforcement professionals who have dedicated their careers to combating the illicit tobacco market in the United States. The illicit tobacco trade is a significant and growing problem putting our young people and communities at risk. As former members of law enforcement, the founders of TLEN have firsthand experience with the challenges posed by this underground market and are committed to addressing these pressing issues.

TLEN is committed to educating stakeholders about the harmful consequences of failed enforcement. Our team of experienced law enforcement professionals brings a deep understanding of the complexities involved in combating illicit tobacco, and we are dedicated to using our expertise to inform and empower communities. We believe that by engaging with stakeholders and sharing our knowledge, we can raise awareness, promote better policy outcomes, and drive effective action.
