Delco police honored for saving 900 lives

Police from across Delaware County are being honored for saving over 900 lives in the past three years.

Each of those rescues was involving a drug overdose.

Delaware County was the first county in the state to train and equip all of its officers with the overdose reversal drug Narcan.

During today's ceremony, District Attorney Jack Whelan acknowledged the program's success and recognized the officers for their heroics.
