Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt has appointed Terry Kerns as Nevada’s first opioid coordinator in the Office of the Nevada Attorney General. Kerns will try to bridge the gap between local law enforcement and state victims’ service providers, to ensure a coordinated response to opioid crisis in Nevada.  Kerns, a recently retired Special Agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a registered nurse, will work to identify and implement best practices concerning the opioid crisis in other states; expand criminal justice interventions regarding prescription drugs; and bolster law enforcement cooperation with health care providers.
