Deputy director reports drug-seizures, overdoses and school prevention outreach in quarterly CNT briefing
Summary
Deputy director Dan Flood reported on overdose callouts, overdose deaths and large drug seizures during a quarterly briefing; CNT said it has expanded school peer-influencer prevention programming and public awareness efforts.
Deputy Director Dan Flood presented a quarterly report on CNT activities, describing overdose callouts, overdose deaths, large drug seizures and prevention outreach.
Flood told commissioners that, for 2025 to date, CNT had 24 overdose callouts and 15 overdose notifications; the unit has adopted 19 overdose deaths for investigation. He reported that 13 drug test screens were completed (the transcript lists test-screen outcomes including fentanyl and cocaine positives and several negatives). Flood highlighted a multi-kilogram seizure executed after a search warrant and said investigators recovered what he described as kilograms of fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine stemming from an overdose-related investigation.
Flood also described other enforcement results, including a tactical-team seizure of roughly 74 outdoor marijuana plants after neighbor complaints, and a 2023 investigation into an organization that yielded various controlled substances pending lab confirmation. He said officers are prosecuting O.D.-related investigations in state and federal courts.
On prevention, Flood highlighted CNT’s public-awareness ADAP trailer — described as built out like a child's bedroom — which has hosted more than 300 tours this year, and praised a "positive peer influencer" program in which high school students visit middle schools to present prevention messaging. He listed participating high schools (Beach, New Hampstead, Jenkins, Islands, Windsor Forest, Groves, Johnson, Savannah Arts) and middle schools (Deren, New Hampstead, Myers, Coastal, Georgetown, Mercer, Isle of Hope, Garrison) as part of the outreach effort.
Commissioners asked whether CNT was involved in an arrest reported the previous day in the Sandfly neighborhood; Flood indicated the arrest cited by a commissioner was conducted by the sheriff’s department and not CNT. Commissioners had no further questions and thanked Flood for the briefing.
The transcript contains specific numeric claims made by Flood that would be subject to routine verification in follow-up reporting, and staff noted several ongoing prosecutions and lab analyses were pending.
