Deputy Director Dan Flood presented the quarterly report for the county’s narcotics and overdose response efforts, summarizing enforcement and prevention work and major seizures.

Flood said the county has recorded 24 overdose callouts so far this year, 15 overdose notifications and 19 overdose deaths that his unit has adopted. He described tox screen outcomes and ongoing investigations: “We’ve had so far 19 overdose deaths that CNT has adopted,” he said, and he outlined several cases moving toward grand jury, state and federal court.

Flood described a major search-warrant seizure that started from an overdose investigation: officers executing a warrant recovered “3 kilograms of fentanyl, 1 and a half kilograms of cocaine, and a third kilogram of methamphetamine” from one house. He presented multiple seizure totals from active investigations to illustrate what investigators said were poly-drug dealers operating in the county.

On prevention, Flood highlighted a peer-influencer program in which high-school students present drug-prevention content to middle-school students and staff the county’s ADAP trailer, reporting more than 300 tours this year. Flood said the program and enforcement work are both part of the county’s broader strategy to reduce overdoses and hold sellers accountable.

Commissioners asked whether the unit participated in a recent high-profile enforcement action in the Sandfly area; Flood said that particular arrest was led by the sheriff’s department and recommended deconfliction and coordination with CNT on future operations.
