Lets prevent over doses, have LE administer the OD stopper. [facepalm]

Does this guy actually do any thing for law abiding citizens??

The Justice Department says an average of 110 people in the U.S. die from drug overdoses every day — more than those killed by gunshot wounds or car crashes.


If they banned heroin, wouldn't that resolve the issue ? Just saying, yo

Let Darwinism take its course. No need to have police carry this drug with them. Actually no 1st responder should have it.

A heroin OD is the call that pretty much put an end to my career. He was in the back of a POS RV and was a hoarder who lived in his own shit. That right there about sums up most heroin junkies. Jacked my back up throwing him out the door on to the grass. EZIO drill and 2mg of Narcan and the shitbird was breathing again.

I have no problem with LEO's carrying Narcan, less work for EMS.

Who trusts cops to give drugs to people? Which jurisdiction would like to take on that liability?

Denver should spearhead this project. They don't have too many irons in the fire with PR, at the moment.

Just open an Opium den and stock it with lots of Narcan. That should make things better. [Sarcasm2]

This is a horrible idea. Cops have enough on their plates rather than having to be the ones expected to deliver this injection to shitheads who have OD'd.

100% agree as a former EMT and former pharmacist. :)

They should give addicts a quick overdose of lead. Finish them off and get them out of here.

Besides giving anything like this is a massive lawsuit waiting to happen.

It doesn't matter with this admin, neither American Citizen or LE friendly, unless they have their fingers on the button, or the rope.

Denver Health Paramedics should have access to it. Typically no first responder is allowed to inject drugs into a patient aside from Paramedics, but they are very restricted on the drugs they have access to. That is not a job for LE.

I agree. My supervisor believes in compassion for everyone. I believe in compassion for those that need it. Sadly, I have not yet experienced the feeling that I should save a person who has overdosed. Every single one of that I have dealt with have been "frequent flyers" for us and I have had personal numerous contacts with and arrested several times. Let nature take its course and let the consequences of their actions be a message to everyone else.
