Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty is adding another weapon to fight the spreading deadly heroin epidemic.

He is launching a heroin awareness campaign called “Let’s Face It.”

An ad campaign will start appearing on Cleveland’s major TV stations next week.

And there’s an information website called LetsFaceHeroin

Heroin overdoses killed about 200 Cuyahoga County residents last year. The majority of victims were from the suburbs.

That’s more than the total number of deaths caused by car accidents, fires, suicides and homicides.

“This is a battle that our community has to fight on many fronts,” he said.

Producers Bob Stefanov and Kelley Hynds collaborated on creating the ads.

They mix personal stories with information and statistics.
