This week’s guest speaker will be Gurnee Police Officer Dan Ruth, who will speak to us about the growing opioid crisis and how it is impacting Lake County.

Ruth is a five-year veteran of the Gurnee Police Department, joining the force in 2013 after a stint in the Round Lake Park Police Department.

Ruth will address the growing opioid crisis in the country along with how it is impacting Lake County. He will also tell us about how law enforcement agencies, especially the Gurnee Police, are handling the crisis, and the various health and criminal fallout from the crisis.
