As part of its continuing community outreach about the dangers of fentanyl, the Hawai‘i County Police Department (HPD) provides monthly updates on the number of County fentanyl related arrests (possession/distribution) quantity as well as the amount fentanyl recovered for the preceding month. During the month of July 2025, there was one fentanyl related arrests. Last month, police recovered a total of .41 gram of illicit fentanyl. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, just two milligrams of illicit fentanyl, equal to a couple grains of salt, is a lethal dose. The .41 total gram of illicit fentanyl recovered by the Hawai‘i County Police Department in August 2025 was enough to kill 205 people.
