SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The DEA recently released the 2019 National Drug Threat Assessment and Special Agent in Charge John W. Callery joined Good Morning San Diego to discuss the results.

Some of the discoveries of the assessment include:

  • While heroin availability in San Diego is moderate, fentanyl availability is high and the majority of fentanyl seized along the SWB was seized in California (75.7 percent)
  •  Methamphetamine availability in San Diego is high and Mexican DCOs are the primary producers and suppliers of low cost, high purity, high potency meth
  • The Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) are the most dominant DTO affecting the San Diego region and control the Tijuana/San Diego trafficking corridor.
