The 4^th Precinct meeting was held on February 1^st at the Smithtown Library.

The meeting was titled “Spotlight on Fentanyl” and was led by Inspector Michael Romagnoli.

The meeting started with Inspector Romagnoli introducing his staff that were in attendance.

Two 4th precinct officers shared with the group how they got started and highlighted some of their experiences with the Suffolk County Police Department.

Inspector Romagnoli then introduced Jason Byron, a member of the emergency medical training unit and 18 year SCPD veteran who gave an in depth and very interesting presentation on opioid abuse and in particular the overwhelming abuse of Fentanyl.

We learned how to identify someone who has severe opioid intoxication (overdose) and how to assist them with the proper administration of Narcan.

The attendees were each given a kit containing Narcan to take home in the event they are ever in a situation where someone needs intervention.

Questions were taken and it was a very informative and educational meeting.

Thanks to Lauri and Bob Murphy
