ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The numbers are eye-opening: More than 260 opioid overdoses in 90 days.

Those statistics generated by the newly formed Monroe County Heroin Task Force, which reported its first quarter findings on Tuesday.

The task force, which is comprised of officials from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, District Attorney's Office as well as Rochester, Gates and Ogden Police Departments was formed earlier this year to to gather data related to the epidemic. Since February, the task force has confiscated at least 120 grams of heroin.

"This epidemic is taking our loved ones from us in record numbers," said Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter (D). "To those responsible for dealing this poison, we are coming for you. The homicides taking place in our community will not be tolerated. You will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

"Individuals will be arrested for homicide charges in relation to their selling dirty dope and causing the death of individuals," said Monroe County District Attorney, Sandra Doorley.

According to officials, over the course of the first three months of 2018, 262 people overdosed, resulting in 42 deaths.

The majority of those overdoses were concentrated, but not limited to the city of Rochester. When looking at just the month of March, the task force says 85 overdoses were reported resulting in the deaths of 12 people.
