Heart of LAPD Walk highlights mental health challenges of first responders 

The Los Angeles Police Department hosted the Heart of LAPD Wellness and Suicide Awareness Walk in Elysian Park on Saturday morning, which brought together officers, families, public safety leaders and community members in a show of solidarity for first responder wellness and suicide prevention. KTLA 5’s Chris Schauble was live at the race Saturday morning and spoke with LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell on what makes the walk so important. “This is to bring everybody together to share an awareness of what we’re doing here, not only for the wellness program for the department, but also for the profession of all first responders,” McDonnell said. “When you think about what we ask our people to do day in and day out – they go from one traumatic situation to another, compartmentalize it and try to move on to the next one to serve the community.” “But we are all human beings, and it’s like having a backpack and throwing another heavy rock into it,” Chief McDonnell continued. “You have to have a way to be able to release that and be able to deal with it and stay healthy.”

LA County warning people against kratom after 3 fatal overdoses

Public health officials in Los Angeles County Friday issued a warning about the risks of using the synthetic kratom compound known as 7-Hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) after three people died from an overdose. Kratom products available on the market are being used as stimulants despite being unregulated. Even natural kratom from a tree native to Southeast Asia is not FDA-approved. Many of the synthetic kratom products, including tablets, gummies and liquid extracts, are being sold at gas stations, smoke shops and other retail businesses without government scrutiny across LA County, according to the Department of Public Health. Products that are often labeled to contain plant alkaloids or alkaloid are promoted to help with pain, depression and anxiety while giving an energy boost. “At low doses, 7-OH can have stimulant-like effects and at higher doses it has opioid-like effects,” the department warned in a statement. “High doses of 7-OH and/or co-used with alcohol or other sedatives can cause severe respiratory depression and death.” The three people who fatally overdosed were between 18 and 40 years old without any significant health issues. They all consumed alcohol while using kratom, officials said.
