Opioids & Narcan

“Fentanyl is the single deadliest drug threat our nation has ever encountered,” said DEA Administrator Anne Milgram.  “Fentanyl is everywhere.  From large metropolitan areas to rural America, no community is safe from this poison.  We must take every opportunity to spread the word to prevent  fentanyl-related overdose death and poisonings from claiming scores of  American lives every day.”

The Foundation continues to hear about  more and more concerns about inspectors and officers coming across and  being exposed to fentanyl and other narcotics. CEOSF is also hearing  about agencies that are now providing Narcan to their field staff.  Whether you are a Code Enforcement Officer, Building Inspector, Fire  Inspector, Housing Inspector, or any other government employee; this  training is for you! With the rise of fentanyl contamination and  exposure, it is worth your time to attend this training. This officer  safety class is focused on providing an overview of the following  topics:

• Opioids to include heroin, morphine, fentanyl, 3methal fentanyl, carfentanyl
• Brief History
• Uses
• Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics
• Hazards
• Narcan - Pharmacology/pharmacokinetics, Use, National Protocols
• Case Studies
• Looking into the future (what drugs will follow, what to look out for, what is changing)
