Bridging Law Enforcement and Healthcare: Insights from HIDTA Director David King

We save more lives when we break those silos between public health, public safety, and prevention.
Ever wondered how law enforcement and healthcare can join forces to combat drug addiction? Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with David King, the Director of San Diego – Imperial Valley HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas), to uncover the unexpected partnerships between cops and clinicians. With over 25 years in law enforcement, including roles with the California Department of Justice, King offers a unique perspective on the fight against drugs.
He shares how drug courts are helping former addicts turn their lives around and why treating overdoses like homicides could be a game-changer. King also talks about the importance of breaking down barriers between public health, public safety, and prevention efforts to save lives. This episode wraps up with a look at innovative drug prevention strategies like OD map and boosting community involvement in schools.
If you're curious about how different sectors can work together to tackle addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
