Unfortunately most of us are aware of the serious problem of drug overdoses involving opiates such as heroin, have caused in our region of the State. Although continued diligent enforcement of drug laws will continue, it is our desire to attempt to serve the public in the most beneficial way we possibly can. This includes having the tools readily available to potentially save the life of someone and allow them to fully recognize their potential as a person in the future.
