Aims: Fentanyl is a morphine-like drug that has a higher pain-relieving potency and is effective in a short period. This study aimed to examine and analyze the challenges facing police in dealing with fentanyl as a growing global threat.
Materials and Methods: This research was conducted with a mixed approach (descriptive-research) in the spring and summer of 2024 at the Forensic Chemistry Laboratory of the Farajah Identification Center. The descriptive part included a review of reliable scientific sources to describe the nature of fentanyl and the threats associated with it. In the experimental part, the collaboration of the Criminal Chemistry Laboratory of the Police Identification Center and the Narcotics Group of the Police University was utilized. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique was used to accurately identify fentanyl in suspect samples.
Findings: In this study, out of a total of five suspicious powder samples analyzed using gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry, two samples contained fentanyl and heroin.
Conclusion: The findings of this study, including the results of laboratory and experimental work on suspect samples, indicate that the Iranian Police Command is able to accurately identify fentanyl in various samples by utilizing advanced drug analysis methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (G-MS). These findings also indicate that the force is prepared to face possible future fentanyl crises. In addition, the challenges faced by the police in managing this crisis are identified, and accurate and rapid information is provided to the competent authorities.
