(DNAINFO)  Elizabeth Elizalde | May 24, 2016 — NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton talks heroin comeback in New York City on The Brian Lehrer Show.

The growing heroin addiction problem is so overwhelming in Staten Island and The Bronx that the police commissioner wants all officers to carry the “Lazarus drug,” a special spray for reviving victims of overdose.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton went on The Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC on Tuesday to talk about the heroin epidemic that’s making a comeback to New York City.

“There’s going to be more done with the heroin epidemic,” Bratton told Lehrer. He added that the drug is “flooding our community,” because it’s cheaper and more available than painkillers.

The drug has hit Staten Island recently, but Bratton called The Bronx his “biggest problem.”
