• 1, 451 charges were narcotic-related.
• 32% of all citywide arrests were narcotics related. The month of March was the highest month observed, with 117 arrests.

2022 ADCD NARCOTICS ARRESTS DATA:

• 25% of all ADCD arrests were narcotics related. The month of March was the highest month observed, with 50 arrests.
