The opioid crisis has exploded in America, taking countless lives from little towns to our largest metropolitan cities. Illegal synthetic Fentanyl kills, and yet more and more of this dangerous drug is still on our streets. The opioid crisis has crossed over from prescription drugs to easily accessible street drugs all laced with some version of Fentanyl.
Hear from a high-ranking DEA Special Agent and Assistant Regional Director (ARD) about who is making this dangerous drug, where they manufacture it and how they are coming across our borders on a daily basis. Understand what the precursor chemicals are used to make Fentanyl and their origination, as well as to how they are falsely manifested, packaged and shipped. Understand which cartels are now thriving by replacing their Meth labs with Fentanyl labs and when they started making Fentanyl right across our border.
This course is an awareness level course for critical infrastructure sector security teams, law enforcement, intelligence analysts and military personnel on how to potentially identify possible trafficking and/or storage of Fentanyl or its precursor chemicals.
