I was so elated to read about Ohio Sheriff Dick Jones I called him up and had a great visit. He is the only Sheriff I know who will not allow his Deputies to carry "Narcon Kits." These kits include the needles and medicine to save worthless addicts who overdose heroin.

Sheriff Dick Jones says hell no, why would I have deputies spending their time saving people who have chosen the path of sin when there are so many good people I can protect? Here is Freehold, our police officers do not carry Narcon kits either. I figure drug addicts can go to other places in the metro and get their lives saved if it is so important to them:

My Deputies Don’t Do Narcan’: Sheriff Promises to Let Opioid Addicts Die

Butler County, OH — An Ohio sheriff is making national headlines this week after publicly noting that his department will be one of the only ones in the state to refuse to carry Narcan, a drug used to reverse the effects of opioid and heroin overdoses.
According to Cincinatti.com, Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones says his deputies won’t carry Narcan, despite its effectiveness reversing the effects of opioid and heroin overdoses. He’s the only sheriff in Southwest Ohio refusing to carry the life-saving medicine.
The sheriff made this reckless decision in spite of the fact that drug overdoses continue to be the leading cause of death in the entire county. According to the coroner, the county is now on track to break last year’s record for the highest number of overdose deaths.
“The disturbing trend of overdose deaths involving fentanyl in Butler County continues at an alarming rate,” said Butler County Coroner Lisa Mannix in a recent press conference.
Jones’ reasoning for refusing to revive overdosed individuals with Narcan is not surprising — officer safety.
According to Jones, when deputies save the life of someone during an overdose, they often wake up, see the deputies, and freak out.
“I don’t do Narcan,” Jones told reporter Keith BieryGolick.

AMEN! If more people lived by faith, we wouldn't be in this situation. Policies like this make it easier to live by faith by not enabling people to live in sin.
