he number of heroin deaths has decreased in the past year; though good news, it isn’t reason to rest. Will County saw 34 deaths in 2014, and the number of convictions of dealers rose from 14 in 2012 to 56 at last count. Parents and those tempted to try the drug need to know one time leads to lifelong recovery … if they don’t die first. “Heroin is the ebola of drugs and unlike anything law enforcement has seen before. We have to get parents more guarded and geared for battle with their kids,” said Will County State’s attorney James glasgow. “We can’t let up.” that was the sentiment of a host of leaders and lawmakers who came together for the fourth annual HeRo and HeLPS event. the forum, titled “a Community’s Public Health Response to the Heroin epidemic: action Strategies” was held april 10 at the edward Hospital athletic and event Center in Romeoville. see ‘acTioN’ on Page 13
