Law enforcement, along with Sedgwick County and City of Wichita leaders, launched a new fentanyl awareness campaign Thursday. “One Pill Can Kill” aims to educate teens and parents about the dangers of fentanyl. Sedgwick County released a series of videos about the drug, secret emoji codes used in drug trafficking and how to spot an overdose. “We need people to be able to speak up and address the issues that are taking place, because it’s about saving souls,” Interim Chief of the Wichita Police Department Lem Moore said. In 2018, 98 people died from a fentanyl overdose in Sedgwick County, and 242 died in 2021, according to Sedgwick County Sheriff Jeff Easter. This year, he said the county is on track to see over 300 people to die of the same cause.
