TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Perspectives from law enforcement officers who respond to overdose calls for service and administer naloxone JO - Health and justice A1 - Smiley-McDonald, Hope M. A1 - Attaway, Peyton R. A1 - Richardson, Nicholas J. A1 - Davidson, Peter J. A1 - Kral, Alex H. SP - e9 EP - e9 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - Many law enforcement agencies across the United States equip their officers with the life-saving drug naloxone to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Although officers can be effectively trained to administer naloxone, and hundreds of law enforcement agencies carry naloxone to reverse overdoses, little is known about what happens on scene during an overdose call for service from an officer's perspective, including what officers perceive their duties and responsibilities to be as the incident evolves.
