A Wyoming Police Department detective, a member of the  Kent Area Narcotics Enforcement Team (K.A.N.E.T.), was conducting standard testing of suspected narcotics Monday in the form of a white powdery substance when he began to experience symptoms that could possibly be related to a drug exposure, and so NARCAN was administered, the Kent County Sheriff’s Office reports.

The detective was transported to a local hospital to be checked and he is conscious and alert.

The substance was collected on the day before as part of an ongoing investigation. The detective bureau has been temporarily evacuated and will remain closed until the Grand Rapids Fire Department hazmat team concludes air quality tests. All remaining divisions within the KCSO complex will remain open unless the fire department requests otherwise.

K.A.N.E.T.  has detectives from the sheriff’s office, Wyoming, Walker and Grandville police departments and East Grand Rapids DPS.  It operates out of the sheriff’s office at 701 Ball Ave NE.
