OPP Officers Use Naloxone to Save a Life in Delhi

Norfolk OPP had to administer naloxone to the same person, on two separate occasions last week in Delhi. 

DELHI - Norfolk OPP had to administer naloxone to the same person, on two separate occasions last week in Delhi. 

The 33 year old is lucky to be alive. Officers were called on Friday night about an unresponsive man. Officers administered naloxone and the man was taken to the hospital, where he was treated by attending physicians.

That was the second time that week, police had to administer naloxone to the man. 

Detachment Commander Rob Scott says naloxone has been a game changer for police and other first responders. 

"Officers attending this address were able to quickly identify an opioid overdose and saved this man's life by administering naloxone. When someone is overdosing, minutes can make the difference between life and death. The naloxone kits are an additional tool which OPP officers utilize to keep our communities safe."
