The Natchitoches Parish Coroner’s Office posted to social media on Jan. 16 to commend the outstanding and ongoing work of the parish’s law enforcement agencies in their dedicated efforts to protect the community. The recent seizure of 8 ounces of fentanyl—a substance so potent that just 2 milligrams can be fatal—underscores the critical importance of this intervention, potentially preventing harm to over 113,000 individuals.

The Coroner’s Office remains steadfast in its commitment to collaborating with and supporting law enforcement agencies in their tireless efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of residents.
