And so our enforcement operations include everything from our presence in countries around the world to help those countries stop these products from coming here to The United States in the first place.
How does a community break free from the chains of drug abuse? Greg McNeil gets to the heart of this question in his conversation with Sean Fearns, the chief of community outreach for the DEA360 program. Fearns dives into the multifaceted approach of DEA360, which aims to dismantle the cycle of drug trafficking, violence, and addiction. Launched in 2015 with a pilot in Pittsburgh, DEA360 has since expanded to key cities nationwide where the opioid crisis hits hardest.
The program doesn’t just stop at enforcement; it actively involves community education and youth engagement. Fearns shares how initiatives like Operation Prevention are making waves in schools by educating students on the real impact of opioids and sparking important conversations at home. He also highlights the DEA’s role as a regulatory body and their global efforts to halt drugs before they reach U.S. soil.
From Manchester to Dayton, Ohio, the program’s success stories show how activating the youth sector can create lasting change. If you’re curious about innovative strategies in combating drug abuse or looking for hope in the fight against addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
