interdictors

Those who prohibit

Interdictors are people or forces that intercept and block something—usually the movement of enemy supplies, troops, or contraband.

Military interdictors cut supply lines or prevent reinforcements from reaching their destination: Air interdictors targeted the convoy before it could reach the front.

In law enforcement, interdictors specialize in stopping drug trafficking or smuggling operations.
