Schumer visited Utica. Senator Schumer announced that the war on heroin is raging in Oneida County and the feds needs to get more involved. At the Utica Police Department, Senator Schumer urged the President's Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to designate Oneida County as a federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), which will help the county address the recent and disturbing uptick in heroin usage and drug-related crime by improving coordination among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as providing equipment, technology and additional resources to tackle this challenge. Schumer cited various facts and figures that demonstrate how widespread the drug trafficking and abuse problem is in Oneida County, including that heroin-related arrests have gone up 60% in Utica since 2013 and local heroin-related calls to poison control centers from Oneida County have doubled since 2011. Schumer urged ONDCP to designate Oneida County as a HIDTA in order to help curb this emerging threat.</p>"}}
