Combatting Fentanyl

The City of Fairhope's Police Department proposes to implement a Fentanyl Education and Response Program. The purpose is to develop a comprehensive, community-based program to educate school-aged children and adults on the dangers of Fentanyl and life-saving techniques if exposed. The City will also provide resources and supplies to at-risk businesses in the community. Project activities include; hosting city education events and programs by bringing in knowledgeable speakers, purchase of one D.A.R.E vehicle and one other drug awareness wrapped vehicle, distribution of Naloxone kits, and free CPR training. Expected outcomes include community education, awareness, and preparedness; 1,000 Naloxone kits distributed; and ~1,000 CPR-trained citizens. In an effort to reach as many people as possible we are working with community partners to implement these strategies.
