Thank you. Could you explain to me why I need it?

The article is needed because you are referring to a particular policy.

One is usually arrested for violating a law, not a policy.

'Policy' is a more political kind of word.

I'm with Clive on this one. You can't really violate a policy.

You can omit the article like this, however:

The administrators proceeded in conformance with drug policy in our country.
