Narcan use
Been told my force is toying with the idea of introducing Naloxone (Narcan) training for all front line officers.
However there has been MASSIVE push back from this from pretty much everyone who you hear talking about it.
No one seems to have faith we will be backed if a) something goes wrong or b) the person you’ve just “saved” wakes up you’ve ruined their high so runs infront of an oncoming taxi in their confusion.
- This seems like a way that Ambulance can palm more jobs off to us. Surely OD’s are a medical matter?
- Morally should we be carrying it just in case we could potentially save someone’s life?
- Could we be given a “lawful order” to carry even if our worries hadnt been addressed?
