SURGE anti-opioid campaign targets dealers in New York
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced the SURGE initiative to disrupt heroin networks in suburban and upstate counties amid rising opioid deaths. The plan unites federal, state, and local investigators, citing Rockefeller Institute data showing over 14,000 opioid deaths in 2010 2015. In Oswego, local officials say admissions for opioid abuse have tripled, while May or Billy Barlow supports state efforts and REAP program to encourage treatment over charges. Five Oswego County residents face charges after a SURGE takedown, Operation Bricktown, described as a major blow to a Syracuse area drug gang. The office highlights programs since 2010 to curb overprescribing and expand naloxone access and mental health parity.
