To support the commanders, the DTC provides information on smart testing, testing quota management, current drug trends, and conducts Unit Prevention Leader certification training.

The DTC also conducts and supports the Drug-Free Federal Workplace testing program.

The EAP provides assessments, referrals appropriate to the identified problem, and crisis intervention counseling. Additionally, the EAP counselor assists with consultations to management, supervisor training, and prevention education services.
