Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato is pleased a successful pilot program that allowed local police to administer opiate antidote Narcan for two months is going statewide.
Five hours after ambulances were stocked with Narcan, Toms River E-M-T's became the first in the state to administer the heroin antidote to save the life of an overdose victim.
A drug that can reverse a heroin overdose is closer to being in the hands of Ocean County police officers, but law enforcement won't be the only ones with access to it.
