Operation Helping Hand

This nation finds itself in the midst of a public health crisis, and the Union County community has not been spared.  In the past five years – in this county – more than five hundred of our friends and neighbors have lost their lives to the opioid epidemic. 

More than five hundred lives lost, and countless others shattered by the devastation caused when addiction ravages the life of a loved one. 

Law enforcement has been on the frontline of this crisis, realizing early on that this was not something that we could simply arrest our way out of.  Instead, we as a local law enforcement community have adapted and created innovative ways to address the problem.
