Officer Safety: 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, Animal Control (ACO) or any other government employee; this training is for you!
