“Any time we can get medicine to people and our ambulance doesn’t have to respond to a potential problem is a plus,” Chief Jackson said.

The police decided to make the delivery after an Argyll resident called 911 about a need for medication, and everything grew from there.

The department responds to requests from residents in need through social networks.

Argyle is in Denton County, south of Denton.
