The explosion of illicit disposable vapes is fueling a fast-growing public safety crisis in counties across America. These often unregulated, foreign-manufactured devices are flooding local markets, targeting youth with candy-like flavors, and evading federal oversight—all while undermining public health and fueling black-market activity. This session will feature expert insights from AJ Lugo, a nationally recognized authority on contraband interdiction and enforcement tactics, and Carlos Sandoval, a former ATF intelligence and field operations expert with deep experience coordinating multi-agency crackdowns. Together, they’ll outline the scope of the illicit vape threat, explain how trafficking networks are evolving, and offer actionable strategies for local enforcement leaders. The session will also spotlight how sheriffs can engage federal partners, lead public education efforts, and develop county-level plans to disrupt these illegal supply chains.
