GTPD Saves Lives With Naloxone and Support Programs

The Gloucester Township Police Department deployed Narcan kits to every police vehicle in early 2014. Since then officers have revived and saved the lives of eight people. To continue the fight against the ongoing heroin epidemic, the Gloucester Township Police Department created Project SAVE, which is proving to be extremely successful. An integral component of Project SAVE is having a licensed alcohol and drug counselor in the Gloucester Township Municipal Court Room which has resulted in eleven persons entering residential treatment to help them fight their addictions which brought them to a life of crime.
