Introduction

  • Law enforcement officers have long responded to incidents related to substance abuse and

addiction.

  • But in the last few years, a new problem is on the rise – drug overdoses.
  • According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half a million people

died from drug overdoses between 2000 and 2015.

  • Opioid use specifically is increasing, with heroin deaths tripling in the same time period. Every

day, 91 Americans die from an opioid overdose.

  • In September 2016, the U.S. Office of the Attorney General issued a memorandum calling the
  • pioid epidemic a “public health crisis.” The memorandum called for the use of a prescription

medicine called naloxone(also known as Narcan) to prevent overdose deaths.

  • Police officers increasingly end up serving as first responders in drug overdose situations.

  • This course of instructions is designed to educate the officer on recognizing the

signs of an Opioid overdose and the proper administration of Narcan to reverse the effects the overdose and allow law enforcement to take life-saving actions before medical aid arrives.
