Commentary: Handcuffs and jail cells won\u2019t solve opioid crisis<\/a><\/h1>\n

It\u2019s more humane \u2014 and cost-effective \u2014 if we connect those with addictions to treatment and services.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

Editor\u2019s note: The is the second in a weekly series of commentaries from different perspectives regarding the response to the opioid crisis in Snohomish County.<\/em><\/p>\n

Back when I was working in patrol, heroin and the misuse of prescription opioids began creeping into Snohomish County communities. I believed (like so many of my fellow law enforcement officers) that addicts and low-level offenders needed to be taken off the streets and thrown in jail. I know that many in the county still share this sentiment, based on the comments posted on Sheriff\u2019s Office social media accounts:<\/p>\n

\u201cArrest them. If they are shooting up they are criminals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet the junkies die. \u2026 Slowly weed them out which will cut down the homeless numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStop spending tax money on helping these worthless drug addicts!!\u201d<\/p>\n

It seemed clear that we just needed to focus our efforts on tracking down the source (dealers) and removing offenders from the community.<\/p>\n

That was more than 10 years ago. Not only do we still have people using heroin and abusing prescription drugs, the problem has gotten worse. In 2006, opioid-related drug cases made up 12.5 percent of the total caseload statewide. In 2016, it was over 35 percent. That means over a third of all law enforcement drug cases in Washington state, opioids (primarily heroin) are the prominent drug. More shocking still is that the number of opioid-related deaths in Snohomish County is more than two and a half times the number of motor vehicle fatalities for the past six years; 635 opioid deaths compared to 239 traffic deaths, 2011 through 2016.<\/p>\n
