Abstract

Illicit heroin and fentanyl are infecting North Carolina's communities, and causing an increasing number of overdose deaths. These trends in drug trafficking and opioid misuse represent a dramatic shift, necessitating a new and coordinated law enforcement response. The North Carolina Attorney General's Office is committed to working toward increased enforcement, prevention, and treatment to address this epidemic.
