Police in Dundee who are trialling the use of Naloxone have already used it to save someone overdosing on drugs.
A pilot scheme has been launched in three council areas across Scotland, with Dundee officers given the option to carry the nasal spray, which reverses the effects of an overdose from opiate drugs such as heroin.
The scheme began three weeks ago in Dundee, and is voluntary during the pilot, with officers asked to make their decision having completed a training course. Since then at least one person overdosing on drugs has been given Naloxone by an officer in Dundee.
