Middle Americas’ Fight against Fentanyl using Community Centric Policing
In the heart of America’s fentanyl crisis, one county is doing what many thought impossible—bringing overdose rates down. In this episode we are joined by Commander Tom Fallon, of Hamilton County’s Heroin Task Force, to discuss how local law enforcement, through strategic partnerships and innovative community outreach, has succeeded in reducing fentanyl overdoses in the county. Commander Fallon also reveals that the real war is fought far from the public eye—with mothers who’ve lost their children, communities on the brink, and doctors who unknowingly set the stage for addiction. We also discuss: How community-centric policing builds trust to drive effective intervention in Hamilton County’s fentanyl crisis.Why tackling the Dark Web’s role in trafficking is vital as cartels use digital channels to spread fentanyl, pushing law enforcement to adapt.The importance of Narcan access and addiction education in saving lives and reshaping public attitudes on addiction.The impact of a new generation of officers blending empathy with enforcement for sustainable change in communities.
