Sheriff’s Office receives donation in support of Narcan Program

On Sept. 3, the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office received a donation from the Plano Molding Company in the form of 12 waterproof/crushproof cases for our Narcan kits. Kendall County Sheriff’s Deputies recently received training in order to administer Intranasal Naloxone, commonly known as Narcan. Narcan is administered to help reverse the effects of opioids such as heroin, methadone, and oxycodone. Deputies carry these kits in their squad cars. The kits must be kept in a climate controlled, dry environment and kept safe from being crushed. These cases make that possible.

Plano Molding made the donation to assist the office with the Narcan Program. Becky Lamkin, the Plano Molding Outlet Store Manager stated, “It is a privilege to support this initiative at the Sheriff’s Office. Our company is aware of the ongoing heroin problem and we gladly support the sheriff’s office effort to save lives.”
