Stigmatized

A Man on a Mission


Listen Later

Tom Synan’s wide experience has allowed him to have a unique look into the heroin crisis. He is a United States Marine Corps veteran and a 25-year police veteran with the Newtown Police Department. For the last 10 years as Police Chief and as is a SWAT Team Leader veteran. In 2014, after watching the last of an entire family die from drugs, the last two from heroin, Tom met with other members in Hamilton County and helped form the Hamilton County Heroin Coalition where he sits on the Steering Committee and Chair Interdiction. He coordinates law enforcement efforts to reduce supply and works with other members to help reduce demand.

Tom was asked to testify in Washington D.C. at a U.S. Senate Homeland Security Committee giving testimony on synthetic opiates and the impact Fentanyl and Carefentinal have had on the country. He was also a speaker with President Clinton and other distinguished panelists for the Clinton Foundation discussing the opioid crisis at Johns Hopkins University. Tom’s career and work with the opiate epidemic have been recorded and archived in the National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington D.C. His work with the Coalition has been used in national and international publications, media outlets and he has spoken internationally on the heroin issue.
