Drug Free Communities Enhancement Act of 2010 - Authorizes the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy to make enhancement grants to an eligible entity to implement community-wide strategies that address emerging local drug issues or local drug crises within the area served by such entity. Defines an "eligible entity" as an organization that is receiving or has received a grant under the National Narcotics Leadership Act of 1988 and has documented, using local data, for an emerging local drug issue or a local drug crisis, rates of use and abuse for specific drugs that are significantly higher than the national average. Limits the amount of such grants to not more than $75,000 per year and the period of such grants to not more than four years.
Comment: This bill should be opposed on the basis that it furthers a failed Federal program called the "War on Drugs," it continues the steady encroachment of the federal government into state and local law enforcement, and furthermore, it is a waste of money.
