Larimer County, CO – The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office is urging residents to take part in ongoing fentanyl awareness efforts after families gathered in New York earlier this fall for National Fentanyl Awareness Day. The event honored victims whose faces were displayed across Times Square and St. Patrick’s Cathedral in a nationwide tribute.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, members of the Northern Colorado Drug Task Force (NCDTF) are intensifying efforts to disrupt the deadly flow of fentanyl and counterfeit pills across the region. The task force not only targets illegal drug operations but also plays an active role in public education, with two of its advisers serving on the Facing Fentanyl board.
Deputies said their goal is to connect with families affected by fentanyl-related deaths and to prevent further tragedy in Larimer County and beyond. Officials are encouraging residents to honor victims by discussing the dangers of fentanyl and counterfeit pills with family and friends.
Counterfeit drugs remain a widespread threat, authorities warned, with just one pill capable of being lethal. The Sheriff’s Office emphasized that stopping the epidemic requires open dialogue, community awareness, and shared responsibility.
