A 23-year veteran of the DEA has been named as the next head of the Philadelphia Field Division.
Philly.com reports that Gary Tuggle will oversee the city and five regional officers in Pennsylvania and Delaware, replacing Don Dongilli, who retired last year.
Tuggle’s career began as a Baltimore City police officer before joining the DEA in 1992.
Most recently, Tuggle served as the assistant special agent in charge of the DEA’s Washington Office.
Tuggle said he plans to focus on the heroin and prescription drug epidemic.
