With the assistance of community partners like QuVa Pharma, we are able to provide our first responders with cutting edge training that will prepare them for any eventuality," commented Richard T. Burke, Prosecutor for the Warren County Prosecutor's Office.

Said Prosecutor Kearns, "The Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office is proud to partner with the Warren County Prosecutor's Office and QuVa Pharma to provide this valuable training to our first responders. We must remain vigilant of potential threats and ensure our law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services are prepared and provided with the training necessary to save lives. I am thankful to QuVa Pharma for their support and use of the Bloomsbury facility."
