HORICON, Wis. Chief Joseph Adamson of the Horicon Police Department has responded to many overdose calls in his career. He now carries Narcan with him everywhere.
“You never know when you’re going to run into an opportunity to help save a life,” Adamson said.
He was excited to help install one of the first public opioid rescue kits in Wisconsin inside the lobby of his station.
“Where do we have fire extinguishers? Places open to the public. Where do we have defibrillators? Places open to the public. Where do we have first aid kits? Places open to the public,” Adamson said. Why not have this life-saving resource right next to each and every one of those resources we provide our public citizens?”
