A
number of Officers with the Franklin County Sheriff's office recently
completed training to administer Narcan to people who are going
through an opioid overdose.
Franklin
County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Coulter along with the Special
Investigations Unit, Deputy Lockley, Deputy Carroll and Lieutenant
Jones completed the training this month.
NARCAN
Nasal Spray is the only FDA-approved nasal form of naloxone for the
emergency treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose.
The
Spray counteracts the life-threatening effects of opioids.
Since
most accidental overdoses occur in a home setting, the spray was
developed for first responders, as well as family, friends, and
caregivers.
