The El Paso Police Department has more than tripled the amount of Narcan kits available to officers, Assistant Chief Zina Silva said Tuesday.

During a presentation to the El Paso City Council, Silva said there are now almost 300 Narcan kits deployed in the field — a significant increase from the 85 kits that were available as of December 2021, according to internal emails obtained for a recent El Paso Matters investigation of Narcan accessibility at the EPPD.
