Superior Police have Administered the Opioid-Reversal Drug More than 50 Times Since 2016
SUPERIOR, Wisc. –
As Superior Police Officers continue to respond to several opioid overdose calls each month, we’re getting a closer look at the reality behind the opioid crisis.
In a FOX 21 exclusive, Superior Police released body camera video of officers using Narcan to save the lives of people overdosing on opioids.
In the two videos released, officers respond on-scene five minutes before EMS personnel arrive, are able to administer multiple doses of Narcan and perform CPR.
Since the program started in 2016, Superior Officers have administered Narcan more than 50 times. The opioid reversal drug and training are provided by donations and grants.
