A record-breaking amount of fentanyl doses were seized last year across Utah and several other Western states and federal officials reported purchasing the potentially deadly drug is becoming easier. 📸: Drug Enforcement Administration
The Drug Enforcement Administration's Rocky Mountain Division encompasses Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
“For the first time in my 31-year law enforcement career, we are seeing an oversaturated drug market," said Special Agent in Charge Brian Besser of the Rocky Mountain Division in a press release."Anyone, including our kids, can buy dangerous and deadly drugs at the click of a button. This is like nothing we’ve experienced before and it makes our jobs as narcotics officers far more challenging and critical than ever before.
“We are geographically at the crossroads of the west, and this quite literally places the Rocky Mountain Division on the front lines in the fight to save lives," he said in a release."You have my pledge that we will continue to do everything within our ability to keep this poison from reaching your communities."
