In response to the tagging, the department has increased patrols in the areas and has assigned a detective to coordinate crime suppression and outreach activities intended to deter the activity and present productive and healthy options for youth. Finally, fentanyl continues to be present, and its impacts felt, in Pleasanton. In 2022 there were 78 cases where fentanyl was present; 59 of those cases were arrests for possession of fentanyl, while the remaining cases were incidents that involved fentanyl in ways other than possession. As fentanyl is a highly addictive and deadly substance, if someone overdoses immediate treatment with Narcan (naloxone) is necessary to reverse the overdoes effects. To be prepared, all police department field personnel carry Narcan. In the past year, there were multiple incidents of officers deploying Narcan in an effort to reverse an opioid overdose. The department does not track the number of incidents where Narcan was used; however, staff estimates the number of persons on which Narcan was deployed in the past two years is approximately 12.
