ProgramCommander Ed Upshaw told us about the

Chandler Police Department’s I AM project that deals with the opioid crisis. He was introduced by Soo-San Stevens-Clarke.

The project started two years ago, and is out front of other programs in Arizona and across the nation. The Chandler PD and the Fire Department as well as service organizations are involved.

“Anyone can become addicted,” Commander Upshaw said. “And any adult can come in and ask for help. Adults may bring in a minor in which case other resources will be made available.” There is a $7,000 cap per person in available funds.

He cited 10 recent cases, of which eight were completed. The project is funded by donations and scholarships that are offered.

A Gala is planned for this weekend to raise funds for the project. A Banquet with silent auc-tion and other fund raising activities will be held Friday, August 17, at 6 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza San Marcos Resort. A Golf Tournament will be held Saturday, August 18, at San Marcos Golf Resort, starting at 7 a.m.
