GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Green Bay Police Department will be better able to fight opioid abuse in the area thanks to a $1,000 check they were presented on Thursday.
The donation came from a local business, Newcomer Creations, Funerals, and Receptions.
Police Chief Andrew Smith accepted the check from the business, which has stated they simply want to help people in the community.
Green Bay Police stated they will be able to purchase additional narcan kits that will be carried by officers.
“Taking on the opioid epidemic is a collective effort,” Smith told Fox 11 News.
“We must work together to prevent addiction and help our family members, friends, coworkers, or anyone that has fallen victim to this. On behalf of the Green Bay Police Department, we thank Newcomer for their generous support in helping future victims.”
