Drugs

Fentanyl is an opioid that is much more toxic than other opioids, such as heroin, morphine, methadone, or codeine. This makes the risk of accidental overdose with fentanyl much higher.

Illicit or “bootleg” fentanyl is being made illegally and sold on the street. It is being cut into other drugs like heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and also in counterfeit pills that are made to look like other prescription pills (like ‘OxyContin’ or ‘Percocet’).

• fatigue impaired driving
• distracted driving
• aggressive driving
• driving without a seatbelt

The Brockville is committed to road safety.  There will be extra traffic patrols this weekend.
