On February 1, 2020, Tempe PD implemented an innovative approach to addressing the Opioid Crisis, by equipping 100% of Patrol Officers with Narcan and partnering with EMPACT-SPC.  With this partnership, the two work together to provide rapid, 24/7 wrap-around behavioral health supports, when Tempe Police administer Naloxone (Narcan).  While still a new project, Tempe Police Officers have not only saved almost 40 lives in our community in just a few short months but have been able to connect our community members with ongoing care which is critical to improve their lives.  This unique police/community collaboration to address substance use is likely to become a national model.
