First Illegal Dumper caught in 2016

Publication1

The first illegal dumper caught in 2016 demonstrates the effectiveness of our surveillance cameras even in low light. A camera photographed the violator, seen in the act in the picture above on the right, dumping debris in the alley of the 1700 Block of W Ormsby Avenue in the midnight hour Monday. Officer John Renn located the truck Tuesday morning, issued a citation and impounded the vehicle, as seen above.  The owner of the vehicle quickly removed the debris and paid the $500 citation. 

In 2015 Public Works and LMPD towed and impounded 18 vehicles and we issued $23,428 in fines against their owners. Nine of those citations totaling $9,250 have been paid in full. Vehicles with unpaid citations will be sold at auction at a later date.


Free Naloxone Kits and Training Sessions to Be Held at Public Health and Wellness

Publication1

The Kentucky Harm Reduction Coalition will offer free Naloxone (also referred to by its brand name as Narcan®) kits and training sessions on how to administer  it to reverse the effects of overdose from heroin and other opioid drugs to prevent death. Training sessions are open to the general public including first responders and to the family and friends of those who use heroin or other opioid drugs.   Each training session takes about 15 minutes to complete.  Training sessions are held on Wednesday, February 10 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department of Public Health and Wellness located at 400 E. Gray St.

Naloxone (also known as Narcan®) is a medication called an “opioid antagonist” used to counter the effects of opioid overdose.  Naloxone is used in heroin and other opioid drug overdoses to counteract life-threatening depression of the central nervous system and respiratory system, allowing an overdose victim to breathe normally.

No registration or advance notice is required to attend the sessions
