Roll Call Video |
DEA Roll Call Video Released: The Dangers of Fentanyl
Law enforcement professionals who have access to solid information regarding the identity of the parties involved in an incident—whether they are victims, witnesses, suspects, or persons of interest—can save a lot of time in any investigation. Los Angeles County, California, has deployed mobile fingerprint scanners to various state, local, and federal law enforcement throughout the county to help overcome the problem of deceptive persons failing to identify themselves property to law enforcement personnel.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has released a roll call video to all law enforcement nationwide about the dangers of improperly handling fentanyl and its deadly consequences. Fentanyl is being sold as heroin, but it is significantly stronger than street-level heroin—a very small amount ingested or absorbed through the skin can kill a person.
The roll call video is available on the DEA Web site at https://www.dea.gov/media.shtml or access the video directly at http://www.dea.gov/video_clips/Fentanyl%20Roll%20Call%20Video.mp4.
