Fentanyl is a crisis. It's time to make our stand.
-
Overdose deaths in Georgia grew 61% from 2019 to 2021, and fentanyl-involved deaths leaped 230%.
- It's 100-times more powerful than morphine and 50 times stronger than heroin.
- It's highly addictive, extremely dangerous and is increasingly found in street drugs.
- It took more than 20 of our Carroll County neighbors in 2021 -- and is on pace to claim still more this year.
Speakers include:
-
Carroll County Sheriff's Office
- Carrollton Police Chief Joel Richards
- Villa Rica Police Chief Michael Mansour
- Carroll County Coroner Keith Hancock
- And testimonies from those whose loved ones were stolen by fentanyl.
The event includes insight into fentanyl use in Carroll County, vendors, stories of recovery and more.
