Law enforcement, prosecutors’ offices, and community leaders don’t miss this opportunity to shape Washington’s next steps in addressing the opioid epidemic. 

As your work is increasingly impacted by the opioid crisis, ensure that you have the tools you need to address the distribution of heroin and the unlawful distribution of prescription opioids.  Make your voice is heard - recommendations stemming from the Summit will be included in a follow-up report to state leaders.

Who should attend?

State, tribal, local and federal law enforcement and prosecutors’ offices, community leaders, and policymakers.
