We're not talking a lot about the heroin stuff or the other drug usage...no matter what anybody tells you how terrible it is, I think the person always feels that they can control it.

His stories are not just about arrests and law enforcement but also about the human side of addiction and the desperate need for effective education and prevention programs.

Sacco also touches on the critical importance of integrating drug education into school curriculums to help prevent future addiction issues.
By the end of the episode, listeners are left with a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by law enforcement on campus and the multifaceted approach needed to combat this crisis. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or someone interested in addiction recovery, this episode offers valuable insights into the ongoing battle against heroin on college campuses.
