The National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS) is an important Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) resource in monitoring drug abuse and trafficking. Current NFLIS data reflect the results from drug chemistry analyses conducted by nearly 280 Federal, State, and local forensic laboratories across the country (NFLIS-Drug), which represent an annual average of 1.6 million drug items processed each year. A research brief on fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances reported in NFLIS-Drug in 2015 and 2016 was published in March 2018 and is available at https://www.nflis.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/DesktopModules/ReportDownloads/Reports/11350_R2_NFLIS_Research_Brief_Fentanyl.pdf.
Because of an increased number of recent data requests to the DEA, a sharp increase in the estimated number of fentanyl reports reported to NFLIS-Drug from 2016 to 2017 (see Figure 1 for trend data for 2009–2017), and an ongoing interest in geographic patterns specifically, the DEA is pleased to release this collection of maps, which shows, by State, the distribution of drugs seized and analyzed by crime laboratories in 2016 and 2017 for fentanyl and a selected set of fentanyl-related substances. All data presented are from the laboratories that routinely submit drug chemistry analyses to NFLIS-Drug.
The geographic data presented in this publication are actual reported data or counts rather than national or State estimates. It is important to note that these data represent only those items that were submitted to and analyzed by forensic laboratories. The data represent a snapshot of the NFLIS-Drug database as of June 16, 2018.
PDFs of these maps can be found in the NFLIS Public Resource Library (https://www.nflis.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/Resources/NFLISPublicResourceLibrary.aspx).
