The Ross Township Police Department is deploying a new program to help combat the opioid epidemic.

The department teamed up with the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency to offer “no questions” asked overdose prevention kits.

Each kit contains items that help reduce overdose deaths, like Narcan, Xylazine test strips, Fentanyl test strips, a sharps container and literature concerning overdoses and available help.

Community members can get the kits Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the police station lobby.

Sam's Club's AI-powered exit tech reaches 20% of stores
Amazon may be scaling back its AI-powered Just Walk Out checkout-free tech in its stores in favor of smart shopping carts, but Walmart-owned Sam's Club says it's turning to AI to speed up its own exit technology. Instead of requiring store staff to check members' purchases against their receipts when leaving the store, Sam's Club customers who pay either at a register or through the Scan & Go mobile app can now walk out of the store without having their purchases double-checked. The technology, first unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, has now been deployed at over 120 clubs across the U.S., which is 20% of the total number of Sam's Club locations.
