ARE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT STRUGGLING FROM AN ADDICTION?
The City of Clinton was awarded a grant in 2018 to help address opioid related issues. As part of that project the Drug Abuse Response Team (DART) was created.
The DART is comprised of Clinton Police Department law enforcement officers, Clinton Fire Department EMS, as well as a specially trained ASAC member. They work to identify, educate, assist, and provide resources to at-risk individuals.
The DART responds to victims who overdose and provide resources while connecting them with interventions or treatment options.
The DART meets regularly to schedule outreach, interventions, and educational assistance as needed. This team will also respond or react to assist those in need of treatment for opioid addiction. The DART is led by:
DART Supervisors Sgt. Dean Ottens and Cpl. Mike Adney, Clinton Police Department 563-243-1458 or email: michaeladney@gapa911.us
DART Supervisor Battalion Chief Greg Forari, Clinton Fire Department
563-242-0125 or email: gforari@clintonfd.us
