TACLET North (Tactical Law Enforcement Team North) is a specialized U.S. Coast Guard unit established to conduct maritime law enforcement and interdiction operations. Activated in the late 1980s, the unit is headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, and provides deployable boarding teams to counter drug trafficking, piracy, and other threats at sea.
