This bipartisan bill 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 approach, especially in Elmira, where the effects of a major drug ring bust are still being felt. With the recent sentencing of two Elmirans for their central roles in the operation, as well as the horrific deaths of at least two individuals due to the ingestion of fentanyl purchased from this ring, Senator Schumer detailed how the POWER Act will give law enforcement the tools they need to address this deadly drug on the ground level."}}
