Takeaways

The reduction in opium production in Afghanistan has led to a decrease in heroin availability, but the discovery of synthetic opioids like nitazines in heroin poses a new threat of overdose.
Naloxone is an important tool in preventing opioid overdose deaths, but access to it can be limited due to bureaucratic processes and funding issues.
The media often focuses on negative aspects of policing, but there are many positive stories and actions by police officers that go unnoticed.
Technology plays a significant role in policing, but there are challenges in integrating different systems and ensuring data security.
Drug dealing involves exploitation and vulnerability, with young people and vulnerable adults being coerced into the business. Promotional pens are a popular marketing tool for businesses.
