"They never carried it," he said. "Nor will they. That's my stance."

The sheriff explained that safety is his concern. When people who overdose are revived, they are often violent and are almost never happy to see the police.

They are never happy to see the medic either. So definitely, let the guys without guns take care off it.


I don't think cops should give it. But that's a weak excuse.

Not sure I agree %100 with that. Sometimes kids of junkies will injest or otherwise consume haroine. I think they should carry it. Their duty is to protect and save lifes. Anything that can help them save lives should be utilized.

In my experience no.  It did happen but more often than not they would still be pretty fucked up even after the narcan.

We don't give narcan to end the high.  We give it to get the respiratory rate back.  So once we get respirations back to normal levels we call it good and let the ER take care of the rest.

We(EMT) were only allowed to use the nasal spray shit though.  Paramedics could give it IV.

My brother is a junkie, last time I heard he OD'ed, I just wanted to know if he lived.

I hope he goes back to prison soon, or doesn't live through an OD, just so I don't have to worry about him as much. He is not ready to change, so those are the 2 options I live with from him. I don't wish it on him, and wish he would choose to get sober, but that's not the reality.

Thanks man, deal with it for almost a decade and a half, and you get real jaded.

He's still my brother, and I love him and hope for the best, but you have to be realistic about what a phone call regarding him means.

It's not a good way to live thinking about a loved one, but I pray for prison over death, because his lifestyle, those are the most likely options.

Intra-nasally administered narcan needs to be ambu bagged in to really take effect, at least to someone who is really blue. It's not a pulp-fiction wake up when you spray it up their nose.

I personally don't have a problem with cops (who have very minimal medical training) not administering medication. We have EMT's, medics, and nurses for that.

Let them be cops, that job is hard enough.

Is an overdose of Narcan dangerous? What if you give a 70 pound child a dose of Narcan more suitable for a 220 pound adult?

I say leave medical treatment to medical professionals.

If the Paramedics want to give Narcan, that is up to them.

There should be no expectation for Law Enforcement to do so, that is outside their scope.

Plus, ultimately it is the Junkie who created the problem, so ...

There are documented cases of Narcan administration leading to pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema can be fatal if untreated.

They should carry it for themselves at least. Fentanyl is nasty and if an officer accidentally comes in contact he should inject himself.

I empathize with the families of junkies...but bottom line we should not be spending the money for non-medical professionals to be administering Narcan to junkies. I read somewhere that they have librarians giving narcan to these shitheads in public libraries. We are bleeding tax dollars yet spend them on instead of deserving folks.

Out of the dozen or so times I've seen (or used) narcan on someone, nobody has ever gotten violent. They're usually so exhausted from being fucking dead that they don't know what to do or where they are.

Yeah. You are suppose to give just enough to keep them breathing but still under. Most people just slam it to piss them off because fuck them.

If the RN at the hospital are cunts to you, Slam it just as you unload them and they will puke and fight in the ER.

No affect other than blocking opioid receptors. Have heard of Edema in lungs but most docs I talk to about it say it is a result of low heart rate and B/P being under the affect of the drug overdose.
