SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake County will receive $57 million from a recent settlement with opioid manufacturers and distributors, and Mayor Jenny Wilson will request $390,000 to help dismantle drug cartels and keep these deadly drugs off county streets.
Mayor Wilson is seeking to restore two dedicated officers to the DEA Metro Narcotics Task Force, positions that were previously cut. "We're taking a two-pronged approach on this issue," Mayor Wilson says."While we work to prevent addiction before it starts, these additional resources will empower law enforcement to dismantle the source of the problem—the drug cartels flooding our streets with fentanyl and other opioids."
