HONEST PARTNER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST FENTANYL? In North Carolina in 2021, more people died from fentanyl overdoses than from car wrecks or gun violence.

The Associated Press reports: "There is little debate among U.S. and even Mexican officials that almost all the fentanyl consumed in the United States is produced and processed in Mexico."

But Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on March 5th: "Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl. Why don’t they (the United States) take care of their problem of social decay?”

The Mexican president's comments fly in the face of reality and prove the point behind a letter sent just a week before on Feb. 27th to President Biden from the 7-term Sheriff of Rockingham County, NC - Sam Page.

Page wrote in part: "How can the U.S. Government ever dismantle and disrupt the Mexican Drug Cartel organizations currently operating if this Administration fails to obtain a commitment from the President of Mexico and its leaders to do so?"

According to WLOS ABC 13, the city of Asheville has lost 141 police officers since 2019. Amid the city's rising crime, the city council got an earful at a budget hearing Tuesday night from residents pleading for more police to improve public safety. https://wlos.com/news/local/some-property-crime-victims-not-filing-their-own-reports-amid-asheville-police-shortage

Outstanding recruiting video that tells a story of people behind an agency. People connected to their community. Connected to each other. Listening to each other. Learning from each other. And all explained 48 seconds - a realistic length for today's social media attention span 🙂. Outstanding piece.
