Grand Forks Police Department warns citizens about fentanyl after surge in overdoses 

The Grand Forks Police Department warned the public about a surge in fentanyl overdoses after responding to eight separate narcotic related drug overdoses in the past 18 days, with several of those subjects ingesting fentanyl. 

The Grand Forks Police Department reminds you to refrain from using any drugs or medication that were not obtained from a doctor, pharmacy, or other reputable business, because there is no way of knowing what you are actually taking if pills or other substances are obtained from an illicit source.

The Grand Forks Police Departments says that they, alongside the Grand Forks Narcotics Task Force, are actively investigating to determine the source of these narcotics. They also ask that anyone with information relating to where these narcotics are coming from to contact the Grand Forks Police Department at 701-787-8000 or to submit them a tip through the Tip411 app. 

The Grand Forks Police Department also encourages anyone suffering from addiction to seek help through the many addiction treatment organizations.
