The result of the ADAC performance audit served as one of the indicators under the safety, peace and order governance area of the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG). This is to ensure the continuous improvement in the performance of ADACs in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of anti-illegal drug activities in the country. (LGOO VI Florian Faith Jr. P.
