On February 27, 2024, Colonel Joseph Bloch and representatives from the Behavior Health Unit attended the Senate Law Enforcement Caucus’ roundtable discussion on the fentanyl/xylazine crisis in Washington D.C. The event touched on the perspectives of both public health and law enforcement to get a better sense of what is working on the ground, and what type of legislative solutions might be helpful moving forward.
