In my career as a public servant, I've worked on the recovery side of addiction with the Drug Court as a Probation Officer and on the response side as a patrol officer with the police department. It's my hope that we'll get resources to those in need and support to their family & friends so that we can fight the epidemic of addiction.
DISCLAIMER: The Hot Springs Police Department has not endorsed or supported my candidacy for JP District 3. This post is shared solely to raise awareness about overdose prevention and support for those affected by addiction. My comments are my own.
Today, on International Overdose Awareness Day we pause to remember the lives we’ve lost to overdose and the families, friends, and loved ones left behind to carry that loss.
Behind every statistic is a person who was loved, a story that mattered, a life taken too soon and a family forever changed.
The Hot Springs Police Department stands with our community in remembrance, compassion, and hope. Wear purple with us today to honor those we’ve lost, support those who are grieving, and remind those still struggling that they are not alone.
In 2021, the Hot Springs Police Department made a commitment to fight the overdose crisis in our city by creating a dedicated Overdose Response Team. Today, that team is still showing up—standing beside the families left behind, seeking justice and accountability for those whose lives were taken by overdose, and fighting for those who are still here.
