Anti-heroin enforcement efforts in Ohio could get a boost following Wednesday’s announcement by President Barack Obama that he will increase funding to fight opioid abuse by $17 million.

The funding will add Ohio and two other High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to the national Heroin Response Strategy announced last year. Some 20 states are now covered by that anti-heroin effort, which is designed to pool resources and information among law enforcement agencies and to work collaboratively to attack the heroin epidemic on multiple fronts.
