The Muntinlupa Anti - Drug Abuse Council (MDAPACC) was created on June 13, 1988 during the term of the then Municipal Mayor Ignacio R. Bunye pursuant to Executive Order 88-01 and Sangguniangbayan Kapasiyahan bilang 88-26 complimented by DILG Memo Circular 98-277 dated December 2, 1998 which required all LGU's to create Anti-Drug Abuse Council (ADAC) in their respective municipality/city.
Later in in 1998, during the term of then mayor, Jaime R. Fresnedi, City Ordinance No. 02-067 converted MDAPACC to DAPCO and mandated the creation of Muntinlupa Drug Testing Laboratory (MDTL) and to further boost the campaign against drug abuse, City Ordinance No. 03-094 created the Drug Enforcement Division.
Subsequently, during the term of mayor Aldrin San Pedro, an ammendment was introduced - the City Ordinance 08-063 which upgraded DAPCO from 18 to 37 personnel with corresponding pay structure.
