> 11-07-2007 Cops Getting Help From Meth Exposurehttp://attorneygeneral.utah.gov/171.html
> COPS GETTING HELP FROM METH EXPOSURE
> Department of Public Safety Sergeant T.J. Harper was
> diagnosed by doctors with the same ailments of a heavy smoker or a
> mine worker. "I don't smoke or work in a mine," says Harper. However,
> Harper did spend 11 years on a drug task force shutting down
> methamphetamine labs. He's also one of the first Utah officers to get
> help at a new detox center.
> The treatment is offered at the Bio Cleansing Centers of
> America's new facility in Orem. The Attorney General's Office recently
> gave a $50,000 grant to the Utah Meth Cops Project to treat eight
> officers.
> "These officers did not always know the consequences to their
> health when they shut down meth labs. They were trying to protect us
> and we owe it to them to try and restore their health," says Attorney
> General Mark Shurtleff.
> Numerous officers exposed to meth labs report problems with acid
> reflux, heartburn, irritability, difficult sleeping and chronic joint
> and muscle pain. Officers at the facility take daily doses of niacin
> and vitamins, participate in moderate aerobic exercise, saunas and
> showers to help remove the toxins. The program is the same being used
> to treat more than 800 Ground Zero rescue workers from the World Trade
> Center.
> Sergeant Harper says the treatment is helping. "I feel quick,
> sharp and back to my normal self. I sleep better and my doctor says my
> lung capacity has improved dramatically."
> Sandy City Sergeant Greg Severson also just completed the
> program. Severson spent the past decade shutting down meth labs and
> eventually started suffering from headaches, joint pain, coughing and
> sleep disorders. "I was just feeling bad everyday," says Severson. "My
> doctor told me he didn't normally see men with problems like this
> until they are in their 60's."
> The Sandy officer was skeptical about the treatment but he was
> willing to see if it would help. During the program he was surprised
> that his sweat smelled like the chemicals associated with
> manufacturing meth.
> "So far so good," says Severson. "Overall it has helped my
> health. I don't have headaches, I don't cough as much, no joint pain
> and I sleep tons better."
> Five more officers just started the program. More than 110 Utah
> officers may have been exposed to chemicals in meth labs.
> Attorney General Shurtleff and some of the officers who have been
> treated in the program will take part in a press conference today at
> 11:30 a.m. The facility is at 555 S. State Street in Orem. Those who
> plan to attend should look for a red brick building on east side of
> State Street, park in back and go in the back door of building.

> 12-05-2007 Bride & Groom Vow To Help Cops Hurt By Methhttp://attorneygeneral.utah.gov/162.html
> BRIDE & GROOM VOW TO HELP METH COPS
> A bride and groom hope the happiest day of their lives will help save
> the lives of police officers who have been exposed to the deadly
> chemicals found in methamphetamine labs. Stan Eggen and fiancé Tammy
> Wright are turning their wedding into a fund raiser for the Utah
> Narcotics Officers Association Benevolent Fund and Utah Meth Cops
> Project.
> Their wedding invitation includes this request: "In lieu of
> gifts, we wish to raise funds and bring awareness to the police
> officers who have sacrificed their health and lost their lives from
> exposure to methamphetamine labs while in the line of duty."
> "We have a toaster, we have enough things," says Tammy Wright.
> "We want to use this day to celebrate the love we have but also to
> help these officers stay healthy and let people know we care about
> them."
> Stan Eggen was a founding member of the Utah County Major Crimes
> Task Force. The retired Provo City police officer says nearly every
> member of the task force has suffered health problems and some died
> after being exposed to meth labs.
> "You see bad guys coming but we didn't see this coming," says
> Eggen. "I've been a cop all my life and I want to give back to my
> brothers who are paying the price."
> Eggen says the deaths of two friends hit very close to home:
> *
> Utah County Detective Trent Halladay was 37 years old when he
> died of liver cancer in 2006. Halladay was exposed to chemicals while
> breaking up 150 meth labs.
> *
> Midvale Detective Jose Argueta was 32 when he died of esophageal
> cancer in 2006. Argueta was also exposed to chemicals while shutting
> down hundreds of meth labs.
> The couple saw the news about Attorney General Mark Shurtleff
> working with Senator Chris Buttars and the Utah Commission on Criminal
> and Juvenile Justice on a new treatment program for narcotics
> officers. They contacted the A.G.'s Office to find out where to send
> donations.
> "What could be more selfless than giving up your wedding day to
> help others?" asks Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. "My hope is that
> other Utahns will follow their example and help those who have put
> their lives on the line to protect us."
