Lost Credit Cards, Screaming for a Cat: Bar Harbor Police Log

NARCAN TRAINING TODAY

Deputy Fire Chief John Lennon is offering a free Narcan training to island businesses. 

By equipping individuals with naloxone and training to identify and respond to an overdose, the potential delay between the onset of an opioid overdose and the delivery of life-saving care can be reduced to seconds.

Training takes less than 45 minutes with time for questions & answers. There was a business training in the council chambers of the Bar Harbor Town Office in the fall, with hopes to do the same again for businesses soon.

If interested in participating please fill out this survey 

There were three upcoming Narcan trainings with John Lennon of the Bar Harbor Fire Department. The remaining one is:

• Wednesday May 31 @ 5 p.m. | Jesup Library, Bar Harbor

According to a release by the town, “All attendees will be given Narcan for themselves to carry and for their businesses if they so choose.”

For more info contact: John Lennon 207-288-1771, Email: johnlennon@barharbormaine.gov
