Flanked by city leaders and local law enforcement officials, federal agents announced joint efforts, called “All Hands on Deck,” to stop fentanyl sales and reduce violent crime, in a press conference in San Francisco on Nov. 2.

“The Tenderloin [neighborhood] has become ground zero for drug tourism,” Brian Clark, Drug Enforcement Administration special agent in charge, said during the press conference. “On average, we lose three lives a day to drug poisoning from sales connected to this area.”
