Little Chute, WI (WTAQ) – A police department in the Fox Valley now has a supply of a heroin antidote.
Fox Valley metro police say Nic Smith, the owner of Smith Pharmacy in Little Chute, donated Narcan to the department.
Narcan counters the effects of heroin and opiates during an overdose.
Patrol officers, as well as police school liaison officers in the Little Chute and Kimberly districts will carry the drug.
The department also says Dr. Michael Polka of the emergency department at Appleton Medical Center has volunteered to train officers to administer Narcan.
The Fox Valley Metro Police Department serves Little Chute, Kimberly and Combined Locks.
