"...it hit Wichita hard in 2022..." -Sheriff Easter

We have been battling drugs flooding into our country across the southern border for decades. The war on drugs persists and we are losing. The call to action today is much scarier. It\\u2019s not just about illicit drug use or recreational drug use. Fentanyl kills people. Fentanyl knows no boundaries. Fentanyl kills quick. It is poisoning people to death. \\xa0Drug cartels in Mexico are manufacturing millions and millions of pills to look just like common pharmaceutical drugs that we use every day. Even worse they manufacture pills that have pastel colors to look like skittles or like the vitamins that your children take.

Sheriff, Jeff Easter is facing this problem head on every day. And he needs our help. This is a much more evil and severe problem and we need all people to help with the solution. Sedgwick county has a number of great leaders that are working on this and we all need to do our part. I thank sheriff Easter for his time and attention, sharing with us how we can help.
