Show Notes

The Local Lens is a public health podcast going inside one community's experience with the drug epidemic. Everyone in the town of Stanton, KY sees this drug issue differently from each other, either because of their personal lives or professional roles. This show aims to showcase those different perspectives through having honest, in-depth interviews with a new guest each episode.

This episode brings together two local government programs to talk about how their activities are interconnected. With Sgt. Ian Morton from the Police Department and Stacy Crase, the director of the Health Department, we cover topics like the Good Samaritan Law and the local Syringe Exchange Program. We discuss the blurred line of condoning illegal activity and keeping safe if illegal activity is done.

The conversation was completely unplanned. This episode connects two of the most vital public offices and naturally explores the relationship. 

These are our people, using our voices, telling our stories, because no one sees it like we do.
