Know of someone struggling?  - Burrillville Addiction Assistance

A Message from Colonel Stephen J. Lynch and the Members of the Burrillville Police Department:

We need your help to address those that profit from the sale of illegal drugs and by the addiction and death of others.

Your help is needed for those that can’t help themselves...

The Burrillville Police Department is committed to protecting this community in all ways possible, through enforcement, education, and treatment initiatives

Education

Currently there are 5 active Police Department Members on the Town’s Anti Substance Abuse Task Force, which is co-chaired by Burrillville School Superintendent Dr. Michael Sollitto and Colonel Lynch. The Task Force is comprised of school administrators, Members of the Burrillville Police Department, elected officials, fire personnel, and members from within the community. The Task Force has focused its efforts through speaking programs and drug awareness presentations within our schools and look to expand by reaching those that are struggling with addiction within the community.  The Police Department, in conjunction with the School Department, has also deployed our School Resource Officer, Jason Nault, full-time during the academic year to assist in guiding our children in all five schools.

Treatment

For those that need help in beating their addiction, we have provided contact numbers to the below listed resources and treatment centers. Getting clean, and staying clean, saves lives.  

Please help us protect this community. Addiction has killed and will continue to kill in this beautiful and strong town.  However, there is nothing beautiful or strong about what has been killing loved ones, at such an alarming rate, since December 31st 2014.
