Others may recognize suspicious activity and be hesitant to call for fear of being thought of as the neighborhood “busy-body.” Yet others simply assume that someone else has already called the police.

I was in Washington D.C. this week as President Donald J. Trump declared a national public health emergency to bolster efforts to combat the opioid epidemic killing Americans. An estimated 142 Americans die every day from opioid use.
