Marshal praises Morgan's certification; council approves Narcan trainer certification funding
Summary
The town marshal reported that Morgan completed an emergency responder clinician certification and convinced the council to approve roughly $180 for Narcan trainer certification so she can train local law enforcement, EMS and community members.
Town Marshal (identified in the transcript by role) told the council that Morgan completed an emergency responder clinician certification and has already been used operationally: “We utilized her with the sheriff's department… and just the sheriff deputies and EMS and everybody was just kinda like, wow. This really works,” the marshal said.
The marshal asked the council to approve funding for additional certification so Morgan could become a certified Narcan trainer who could deliver naloxone administration training to law enforcement, EMS and community members. The marshal described this as an asset for multiple local agencies and said funds could come from restricted opioid funds or training budgets.
Council member (speaker 4) moved to approve the expenditure and the motion was seconded; the council approved the request during the meeting. The transcript records the requested amount as approximately $180 for certification and indicated prior authorization to use restricted opiate money was discussed.
