Fed up with rampant overdoses, residents try Narcan bike patrols

Pro Life Posse –

SEPTEMBER 16, 2019 – The opioid epidemic in Kensington has elicited many responses. The City’s all-hands Resilience Project has accomplished many of its goals but public use and its consequences persist, impacting the entire community so deeply, residents have taken their own measures. Operation Save a Life is one of the newer and more unusual ones.

Its model of Narcan bike patrols is unconventional. Its structure is loose; there’s no set schedule for the patrols. It’s not affiliated with any formal organization though Morrisette says he’s in the process of getting 501c3 status.  He is a bit evasive about where he gets the Narcan kits. But he, Rich and other volunteers seem genuinely sincere about their desire to save lives and improve the neighborhood. “If you come from this place, and you’ve been around here which I have for many years, and seeing what it turned into, you would want to do something about it,” says Morrisette.
