The state of Nevada will soon be receiving more than $3.4 million in federal funding to combat drug trafficking and overdoses.

U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen announced funds will come from the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program, which helps federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies seize illicit drugs like fentanyl, reduce drug trafficking-related crime, enhance data sharing and target money laundering organizations.

“Drug trafficking and the flow of illicit fentanyl into the United States are fueling an overdose crisis across Nevada,” Rosen said in a statement. “That’s why I’m working across the aisle to secure our border, stop the flow of fentanyl and support law enforcement to keep our communities safe. I’m glad to announce more than $3.4 million in federal funding that will help law enforcement in Nevada improve their operations and fight drug trafficking in our state.”

“Too many Nevadans have lost their lives to fatal overdoses,” said Cortez Masto. “This federal funding will support our local HIDTA team as they work to crack down on drug trafficking and keep our families safe. I’ll continue working to ensure our law enforcement is receiving the tools and resources they need to combat this epidemic.”
