County hears demonstration of '1 Box' naloxone kit; vendor offers $150 unit for public deployment
Summary
Rapid Risk Reduction demonstrated a bilingual, battery‑powered naloxone emergency kit that plays a 60‑second emergency video and a 5–6 minute training module; the vendor recommended placing units in stable public locations and priced the basic unit at $150.
At the Dec. 9 Boyle County Fiscal Court meeting, Taylor Golden of Rapid Risk Reduction demonstrated the '1 Box' naloxone emergency kit and urged broad public placement of the unit in schools, first‑responder vehicles and public buildings.
Golden said the device is brand‑agnostic for intranasal naloxone, plays an immediate 60‑second emergency instruction when opened and offers a separate 5–6 minute training mode for staff and volunteers. “When you pull the tab here, it’ll give a live 60‑second… ‘Here’s how you use naloxone’” Golden said, adding the unit is bilingual and intended to be an AED‑style public safety tool.
Magistrates and staff discussed likely deployment sites (police cars, EMS trucks, jails, public buildings and businesses) and storage concerns (temperature, expiry). Golden suggested placing units where they can remain in a stable environment—next to fire extinguishers or first‑aid cabinets—and said some partners track real‑time use for outcome measurement.
Cost and procurement: Golden said the standard '1 Box Classic' is $150 per unit. The vendor also offers a screen‑only 'colocation' product to add training to existing naloxone storage.
No purchase motion was recorded during the meeting; the court thanked the presenter and left consideration to staff and committees for further deployment planning.
