Thomas "Tommy" Farmer, Director and Special Agent in Charge of TDDTF will join us for GCTV Morning on the Mountain Tuesday, November 25th. He will discuss the event and share important information on emerging drug threats facing our communities and impacting our children and families. He will also talk about the efforts of the TBI/TDDTF and our local partners to address these issues. Topics of discussion include: fentanyl; methamphetamine; vapes; THC; etc., Drug Endangered Children, Handle with Care, and available services.
