During the latest Statewide Opioid Task Force meeting at Augusta University Wednesday morning, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr discussed the "war on fentanyl" and his office’s continued efforts to combat the opioid crisis across the state.
Attendees received updates from public, private and nonprofit partners working to address the issue, including Augusta University, Georgia Opioid Abatement Trust, GBI Director Chris Hosey, Augusta Mayor Garnett Johnson, Augusta Fire Chief Antonio Burden, Richmond County Sheriff-elect Eugene "Gino Rock" Brantley, Georgia Sheriff's Association executive director Terry Norris, and Georgia Association of Fire Chiefs president Terry Smith.
"We know that the opioid epidemic knows no geographic, demographic or economic boundaries," Carr said.
