Members of the county's Hope One task force help came upon a homeless man that was non-responsive. They called in the officers nearby and provided NARCAN.

Police Det. Matthew Worth and Det. Sgt. Jason Kiamos were able to get the man into an open space so Det. Dominic Fabrizio could administer the lifesaving drug used to revive victims who have overdosed.

The man thankfully regained consciousness after the dose and was taken to a local hospital.

Another example of how cops are called to do so many different actions on a daily basis.

We can discuss the solution to the growing homeless problem and the opioid addiction and overdose crisis facing our state and nation. But at the end of the day, cops like the ones in Atlantic County have given one more victim a second chance.
