Cocaine is considered the most serious drug threat in the state of Florida and is smuggled into the state via commercial cargo vessels, private pleasure crafts, cargo and passenger aircraft, and automobiles. Cocaine typically originates from South America. Recently, however, there has been a marked increase in Mexican organizations transporting and distributing large quantities of cocaine from Mexico as far south as Palm Beach County.

After the cocaine is smuggled into Florida, some is consumed locally within Miami, but the majority is destined for distribution to other areas of the state and outside Florida. A local market exists for cocaine in the Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach areas, but much is designated for conversion into crack.

Drug trafficking organizations dealing in crack cocaine have been identified in Orlando, Gainesville, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Fort Pierce and West Palm Beach, thus demonstrating the availability of crack throughout Florida. African American and Haitian traffickers, as well as street gang members, continue to dominate crack distribution throughout Florida.
