ALABAMA Fights BACK: Undercover Heroes Take on Fentanyl Crisis
— A small city in Alabama is fighting back against a surge in drug activity, particularly involving FENTANYL. Local police officers, many of whom grew up in the community, are determined to reclaim their town from this crisis. Lou Valoze, a retired ATF agent, emphasized the personal stakes for these officers as they engage in undercover work to combat illegal drugs and trafficking.
Valoze is featured in a new Investigation Discovery series titled “Operation Undercover,” which showcases real-life police operations aimed at safeguarding communities nationwide. The show provides exclusive footage of stings targeting drug suppliers and traffickers. The first episode highlights Oxford, Alabama’s battle against fentanyl smuggling along Highway 20.
Fentanyl has become the primary drug of choice for smugglers due to its potency — 50 times stronger than heroin. This alarming trend has prompted intensified law enforcement efforts to dismantle trafficking networks and protect local residents from its devastating impact.
