As attorney general, Shapiro has concentrated on increasing resources to pursue high-level drug dealers, collaborating with law enforcement agencies at local, state and federal levels to improve enforcement efforts, and leading a multi-state investigation with 41 other attorneys general to look at the role that opioid manufacturers and distributors play in the epidemic.
