Imagine stopping a dangerous crime or saving someone’s life after an overdose, only to have to immediately isolate away from your family for two weeks.
For many police officers, that is a reality.
Cst. Mitch Barber of the Saskatoon Police Service knows it all too well. On four separate occasions, he has had to isolate after coming into close contact with someone who was infected with COVID while Barber was on duty.
He is isolating right now, after being part of a crew who responded to an overdose.
Yesterday morning, three ��♀️’s responded to an overdose. Narcan was successfully used and the individual was transported to hospital, where it was determined they were + for COVID-19. All three ��♀️’s are isolating; one of them on his 4th isolation away from his family.
