The Floyd County Sheriff's Department and Transdora Ambulance Service are pairing up together to do what they can to bring those rates down. Oftentimes law enforcement could be the first on the scene or they could have someone in custody who has ingested opiates, could be overdosed, could go unresponsive in their custody. And this is a way for these guys to potentially save a life. It's had a positive outcome nationwide since this has been implemented. Law enforcement has been doing this successfully and it's saving lives. I was a paramedic for 10 years before getting into law enforcement. I've seen several overdoses where in the fact that if Narcan had not been administered in the first few minutes of them stopped breathing, they would not be here today. Narcan, it's an opiate receptor blocker, so it takes the opiate receptors and blocks us on no more medicine or no more drugs and get into the receptors. With mass overdoses in cities like Huntington and Cincinnati, officials say it's only a matter of time before something similar happens here in Floyd County and they want to be prepared. We know that it's coming. I mean, it's eventually going to make its way here. We see it in our neighboring counties, not far down in Boyd County, Round County, Clark County. So we're prepared. We don't want to sit back and say, Lord God, we didn't know it was going to happen because we've had warning and we want to be prepared as much as we can. So what I have done is went on and ordered some Narcan kits, the nasal spray type. And we're getting training today on how to apply that and when to apply it and the reactions that it might cause and just all that surrounds the use of Narcan and the Loxon.
