One community, one fight is kind of my vision.
Picture a police department that’s more about helping than handcuffs. That’s what Officer Bud Lytle from the Chillicothe Police Department is bringing to the table in this episode of Cover 2 Resources. As a Public Information and Crime Prevention Officer, Bud has seen the limitations of traditional law enforcement in dealing with addiction. Instead of just locking people up, his department is now focusing on social work tactics to support those struggling with opioids.
They’re meeting people where they are and connecting them with the help they need. But it doesn’t stop there. Chillicothe is also making waves with initiatives like drug-free clubs in schools and vocational education programs aimed at tackling addiction before it even starts. Through community outreach and education, they’re building a united front against the opioid crisis. As Bud puts it, 'One community, one fight is kind of my vision'.
Tune in to hear how compassion and proactive strategies are making a real difference in this hard-hit community.
