Norwegian Narcotic Officers Association (NNOA; Norwegian: Norsk Narkotikapolitiforening, NNPF) is a Norwegian lobbying organization.[1] The organization is primarily advocating for a strict drug enforcement law retaining punishment as a reaction to illegal drug use, only excluding punishment for people suffering from severe substance use disorder.[2] It has distinguished itself as opponents of drug liberalization.[3]

It was established in November 1991 as an attempt to prevent and reduce organized crime related to illegal drugs.[4] As of January 2023, senior police constable Jan Erik Bresil is the leader of the organization, and state attorney Geir Evanger functions as the deputy chairman.[5]
