In regards to the previous posting regarding the number of Naloxone/Narcan deployments I will echo what Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Gramiccioni has said previously “No one’s life is a throw-away. We can’t sit back and dismiss heroin addicts as junkies who created their own problems nor can we minimize them as someone who deserves to die. Heroin addiction is a serious problem with fatal consequences. These addicts are our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters, our mothers and our fathers, and our neighbors. They need help, and they can only get help if they are alive. Naloxone (Narcan®) can saves lives and is saving lives so they can get the help and treatment they need,” Additionally the naloxone kits are being paid for by forfeiture funds in the County Law Enforcement Trust Account (CLETA). The CLETA fund is an accumulation of money seized during arrests as the proceeds of illegal activity. “The drug money we seized from heroin dealers arrested during our proactive law enforcement activities like ‘Operation Hats Off’ and ‘Operation Dead End’ is being used to save lives and reverse the effects pushed by these purveyors of death,”-Monmouth County First Assistant Prosecutor Marc C.
