SOUTHWICK (WWLP) – Another area police department has turned to the life-saving drug Narcan as part of their fight against overdosing.
The Southwick Police started carrying a nasal spray Narcan on Friday. Southwick Police say adding Narcan to their cruisers just makes sense.
The Pioneer Valley has not been immune to the opioid drug overdose crisis that was declared a public health emergency.
Police are often the first to arrive to an overdose call. Administering Narcan can reverse the effects of an overdose by activating receptors in the brain that tell your body to breathe.
