“Join the fight. Save lives. Be the solution.”
Members of DEA will be in Baseball Village during the College World Series (TM) to recruit and educate fans on the dangers of drug use.
OMAHA, Neb. – Members of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will be in Baseball Village during the College World Series ™ recruiting and providing information on the dangers of fentanyl and other drugs seen frequently in communities across the nation. The DEA booth is located on the east side of The Bullpen, in front of 1620 The Zone’s broadcast location.
DEA recruiters will be on site answering questions about career paths within the agency, while also explaining the application process and requirements to apply.
“The DEA is recruiting a wide range of skillsets,” DEA Omaha Division Special Agent in Charge Steven T. Bell said. “We’re looking for agents, diversion investigators, intelligence analysts, forensic scientists and administrative staff. When all of these units work together, we’re able to successfully identify the individuals and organizations responsible for trafficking fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and other drugs into our country, and hold them accountable.”
The 10-day recruiting event, held around the College World Series ™, is expected to draw interested applicants from across the nation. Nearly half-a-million fans will descend on Omaha for the annual event as college baseball teams from Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia vie for a national title.
Those interested in learning more about national and local drug trends are invited to stop by and visit with members of DEA in Baseball Village. Fentanyl remains the deadliest drug threat facing the nation with drug poisonings listed as the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18-45, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Two milligrams of fentanyl, small enough to fit on the tip of a pencil, is considered a potentially lethal dose. Fentanyl has been seen in powder form but is also made to resemble legitimate prescription medications. Families are encouraged to sit down and talk about the life-altering consequences that can come from drug abuse.
