Schumer renewed his push to pass the Providing Officers with Electronic Resources (POWER) Act. According to Schumer, the bipartisan bill, set to be reintroduced by Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH), creates a new grant program through the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that will help state and local law enforcement secure new high-tech, portable screening devices to quickly, effectively, and safely identify dangerous drugs like fentanyl in the field. Schumer explained that the opioid crisis requires an all-hands-on-deck and an all-of-the-above approach, especially in Albany County, which holds a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) designation and experienced over 80 opioid overdose deaths since 2016. Senator Schumer detailed how the POWER Act will give law enforcement the tools they need to address this deadly drug on the ground level."}}
