		<description><![CDATA[Wearing a mourning band around his Sheriff’s badge to honor the sadly growing roster of recently murdered law enforcement officers across the nation, Cecil County Sheriff Scott Adams warned the Cecil County Council on Tuesday that despite gains in preventing fatal overdoses and heightened enforcement efforts against drug traffickers, there are “scary” trends in the illegal drug world that could worsen the drug abuse problem in the county. Compounding the problem has been a time-lag in “trend” and “threat assessment” information from federal agencies, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), that makes data available long after police on the streets are seeing quickly shifting patterns in illegal drugs sold by dealers. “The trends change so quickly,” Adams said, and a growing threat is fentanyl—a powerful opioid and anesthetic that dealers are mixing with heroin&#8211;that had previously bypassed Cecil County. But in 2015, there were 7 fentanyl drug deaths in Cecil County—a sharp increase from the 1 death recorded in 2014 and zero deaths in the county due to fentanyl in 2013. So far this year, there has already been 1 fentanyl-related death in Cecil County during the first four months of the year, according to new state health data [&#8230;]]]></description>
