Narcotics Investigations
Drug trafficking, drug-motivated crimes, and overdose deaths affect the quality of life for all residents, not just the end users themselves. For this reason, the Kenton County Police Department (KCPD) partners with the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force (NKDSF) and with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
