The one-day summit will host 250 first responders, from all over the state of Florida, and have speakers such as Florida’s Drug Czar, Doug Simon.

Live Tampa Bay’s Law Enforcement and First Responders Committee is comprised of frontline workers in the region who will no longer tolerate the state of opioid overdoses in Tampa Bay. Data shows there are 34 9-1-1 calls a day that lead to successful overdose reversals, according to a statement.
