Putting more cops on the street to fight opioid crisis
West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey wants more cops on the streets to fight the opioid crisis. Morrisey unveiled a five-point strategy yesterday that recommends a significant surge in law enforcement and prosecutions, anti-retaliation protection for prescribers and tough prevention measures in Medicaid. The proposal would add 150 troopers and 50 investigators to the West Virginia State Police.
