DEA agents are training law enforcement to better investigate drug overdoses

LEBANON, Mo. (KY3) – Police officers, prosecutors and forensic investigators from across the region participated in training with Drug Enforcement Administration agents in Lebanon.

The St. Louis Division of the Drug Enforcement Administration hosted the event. It helped members of the justice system better investigate drug overdose cases.

Agents say this isn't the same old war on drugs. This isn't even the same opioid epidemic. The general population is becoming more tolerant of fentanyl, and the drug market is rising to the challenge by developing drugs that are more effective than fentanyl.
