Law enforcement and emergency medical personnel need the resources, strategies and partnerships to ensure they can quickly and effectively save lives and keep our communities safe.
Our first responders have been fighting the opioid epidemic longer than anyone – from federal, state and local law enforcement removing drugs and dealers from the street to EMT’s and firefighters being first on the scene of an overdose.
