Temporary Chief Inspector Jason Meecham DURHAM Police trauma trained officers are among the first in the country to carry a life-saving drug which will temporarily overcome the effects of a drug overdose. More than 40 roads policing officers and other frontline officers, together with officers working in custody suites, have been trained in administering Naloxone – a drug used to fight against overdoses caused by opiates such as methadone, heroin, fentanyl and codeine. The Naloxone kit, identical to that which trained staff within the NHS, North East Ambulance Service and drug services use, has already been used by selected trained officers across County Durham and Darlington to save lives.
