At this time, there are no dedicated grants to provide naloxone to other first responder agencies outside of the FR-CARA covered region. It is recommended that you contact your local Kentucky Agency for Substance Abuse Policy (KY-ASAP) board to see if they have any resources to provide naloxone for non law-enforcement first responders.
