Summary

The DEA's Seattle Division is launching a "Fentanyl-Free America" initiative in the Pacific Northwest, focusing on increased enforcement, education, and awareness. This initiative aims to combat the fentanyl crisis through collaborative efforts.

What changed

The DEA's Seattle Division, led by Special Agent in Charge Rob Saccone and Associate Chief of Operations Brian Clark, has initiated a "Fentanyl-Free America" campaign targeting the Pacific Northwest. This campaign emphasizes a multi-pronged approach involving enhanced enforcement operations, public education, and awareness campaigns to combat the pervasive issue of fentanyl trafficking and its devastating impact.

While this is primarily an awareness and enforcement initiative rather than a rule with direct compliance obligations for regulated entities, it signals an intensified focus on fentanyl interdiction in the region. Companies and organizations involved in logistics, public health, and community outreach may see increased DEA activity and potential collaboration opportunities. The initiative encourages public participation through the DEA.gov/FentanylFree website.

What to do next

  1. Review DEA's FentanylFree initiative materials and website.
  2. Assess potential for collaboration with law enforcement on drug awareness programs.
  3. Stay informed about increased enforcement activities related to fentanyl in the Pacific Northwest.
