The Mitchell County Sheriff’s Department has begun a new Community Drug Awareness program to address the drug problems in our area. Fentanyl is killing Americans at a record rate. 295 people a day die from an overdose and the majority of these overdoses are from fentanyl. Unfortunately many people who died from an overdose didn’t even know they were taking the deadliest drug our nation has ever seen. They didn’t know that Percocet, adderol and other drugs like marijuana, heroin and meth are being laced with fentanyl. They didn’t know that just one pill can kill. Anyone who uses drugs, even occasionally, is now at risk of an overdose. The Mitchell County Sheriff’s Office Community Drug Awareness program is for community groups, churches, or any interested organizations. Topics covered at the presentations include:
- Narcotics being found in and around Mitchell County.
- How to identify Narcotics and what effects those Narcotics can have.
- How to protect yourself and family from these substances.
All presentations will be done by current Mitchell County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Detectives. To schedule a presentation call The Mitchell County Sheriff’s Office at 688-3982.
