This FBI is crushing narcotics networks and dismantling criminal enterprises across the country. As part of Summer Heat 2.0, our teams have seized nearly 10,000 kg of narcotics and 3,116 weapons, and made 5,097 arrests, and we’re not slowing down. On this International Overdose Awareness Day, we reaffirm our commitment to combat drug trafficking organizations and crush violent crime to restore safety in our communities.

WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH PILL IS FAKE?

Help #WV and the #US continue the decline in overdose deaths. Stay aware and spread the word about the dangers of counterfeit pills.

The only safe medications are ones that come from licensed and accredited medical professionals.

Pills purchased outside of a licensed pharmacy, including on social media, are illegal, dangerous, and potentially lethal.

WOULD YOU KNOW WHICH PILL IS FAKE?

Your children probably wouldn’t either.

Never take a pill that wasn’t prescribed to you and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.

One pill can kill.

Today, on National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day, we remember the lives stolen by fentanyl and the families who live with that loss every day.

Never trust your own eyes to determine if a pill is legitimate.

29% of counterfeit pills tested in DEA labs — more than 1 in 4 — contain a lethal dose of fentanyl.

The only safe medications are ones prescribed by a trusted medical professional and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist.

“Fentanyl is unlike any drug threat we have faced before. A counterfeit pill purchased on the street or online can look like legitimate medication and contain a lethal dose of fentanyl. There is no second chance when one pill is enough to kill. We will continue working alongside our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to identify the people trafficking fentanyl, dismantle the organizations supplying it, and hold accountable those who profit from addiction and death.” — @USAtty_Capito

2 milligrams of fentanyl, the amount on the tip of this pencil, can be enough to kill an average American.

KNOW THE DANGER.
REMEMBER THE LIVES.
HOLD THE DEALERS ACCOUNTABLE.

Awareness saves lives.
Enforcement saves lives.
We need both.

National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day is Friday, August 21.

Join us in raising awareness about fentanyl and counterfeit pills. Education is prevention — and you can make a difference: https://t.co/0BkNov6q4a

The illegal drug trade is not a distant problem. It is here in our communities where our families live and our children go to school. That's why FBI Pittsburgh and our local, state, and federal partners joined together to arrest 44 people connected to a dangerous, violent drug trafficking operation stretching from Detroit to Morgantown.

We will not stop in our pursuit to Crush Violent Crime as part of Operation Summer Heat 2.0.

Here is what the takedown looked like.
