Certified defibrillator supplies as overdose harm reduction

The FY2026 report lists a program named Automated External Defibrillator (AED), recipient Bayonne Fire Department (p6). Its description is defibrillator supplies to combat overdose deaths. It certifies 773.00 funded and spent, funded and launched 4/28/2026, one time only (p6). Its intended impact is to "Save residents from cardiac deaths due to substance abuse," and it reports 40 individuals served (p7). It files the purchase under Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention, with the Schedule B strategy Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms (p7). An AED treats cardiac arrest. Exhibit E names naloxone and other drugs that treat overdoses, not defibrillators. No overdose program using this equipment is documented, and no listed use covers it. The City has produced no ledger, so the payment behind the figure cannot be traced.
