– Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar joined Leading SA on KSAT’s GMSA Sunday to discuss recent crime trends around our area, fighting fentanyl, school safety initiatives, and the top priorities he’s implementing to crack down on crime in the county.The School Safety Task Force was formed up as kind of a pilot project.
“Locally, the drug that we’re seeing a lot with young kids is THC vape cartridges. You know, just so parents can educate themselves. We actually have a PSA that we produced on THC to let parents know what it is and what it looks like,” Salazar said. “The scary thing about this is it can look like anything, and it can smell like anything. Parents say, ‘Well, I never smell marijuana coming from their room.’ And this doesn’t smell like that. The effects of it are much, much higher.
“It can be made to smell like cotton candy, perfume, potpourri -- things like that,” he continued. “But the really scary part about this is what we’ve seen kids are willing to do to each other to get this drug. We’ve actually seen some murders as a result of a $30 hit of THC cartridges.”fighting fentanyl“One of the things that we’re doing is that I, myself, have started teaching a course. It’s called ‘One Pill Can Kill.’ It’s DEA information that they gave over , plus we do a presentation.
“To get one scheduled, we will come out to wherever you are, and the email that you can you can send an email to request one of these presentations isHuman smuggling is always an issue for law enforcement in South Central Texas, and with Title 42 expected to be lifted on May 11, BCSO is getting prepared in case they see an uptick in cases.From our federal partners and our state partners, we are hearing that it’s going to be an influx of folks coming in.
“But we also have to stop enriching the cartels to the extent that we have. The cartels are behind not just the smuggling issue that we’ve talked about but also the fentanyl issue that we talked about. And quite frankly, they’re behind a lot of our local crime that we’re seeing,” the sheriff added.
