North Bergen Police Sgt. Michele Bartoli responded to an emergency call for service involving an unresponsive adult last night, officials said.

Upon arrival, Bartoli’s training and experience led her to believe the individual had suffered an opiate (heroin) induced overdose, police said.

As a result, she immediately administered Narcan and the individual regained consciousness and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, authorities said.
