Today on Change Agents, Andy speaks with former Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Los Angeles Field Division, Bill Bodner. 

Bill had a 31-year career in the Drug Enforcement Administration, in which he was responsible for overseeing the daily operations of 14 offices located in Nevada, Hawaii, Guam, Saipan, and the counties which make up the greater Los Angeles area.

Bill discusses the evolution in American street drugs, the forces behind these new drugs, and how deadly substances like Xylazine — known as tranq — infiltrated the modern drug market.
