On July 15, 2025 JRI Health gave an update to the Board of Health about their Program RISE SPOT: Syringe Pinpoint Observation Tool. This online survey helps communicate the locations of improperly discarded syringes in public spaces so they can be retrieved and safely disposed of. The initiative promotes community safety, centralizes response efforts, and raises awareness through harm reduction and public education.
