Lane Co. Sheriff's Office Lane County Sheriff’s Office detectives will soon have access to new software that will aid them in processing digital evidence.  Operation Underground Railroad, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works to protect children from sex trafficking and exploitation, has donated $3,000 to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office. This donation will be used to purchase Griffeye, a software that analyzes digital evidence, including photos and videos, and can be programmed to detect illegal images such as child pornography.  Detectives currently have to manually analyze every single piece of digital evidence, an inefficient and mentally taxing process.  The donation will fund the software purchase for two years and should result in more efficient detection and analysis of digital evidence.                Click Here To Download Our App

Deschutes Co. Sheriff's Office In comparison, during 2021 there were four incidents where Narcan was administered to inmates as a result of suspected opioid overdose. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid 80 to 100 times more powerful than morphine and 30 to 50 times more powerful than heroin. A 3-milligram dose of fentanyl—a few grains of the substance—is enough to kill an average adult male. The availability of illicit fentanyl in Oregon has caused a dramatic increase in overdose deaths throughout the state. Provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that there were more than 107,000 fatal drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2021, an increase of nearly 15% from the previous year. Synthetic opioids (primarily fentanyl) accounted for more than three-quarters of these deaths. Numbers from 2022 are not yet available.
