The Special Investigations Unit has ruled that the Woodstock Police officer who used Nalaxone to try and reverse an overdose did nothing wrong.
WOODSTOCK - The Special Investigations Unit has terminated an investigation into a Woodstock Police Officer who used Nalaxone to try to reverse an overdose.
The Woodstock Police officer was first investigated after 31 year old woman died from an apparent overdose last month in Downtown Woodstock. The officer was the first person to arrive on the scene and administered Nalaxone and the woman later died in the hospital.
The Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Tony Loparco says the officer did nothing wrong in this case.
“The woman had overdosed prior to the police arrival on the scene and the conduct of the police officers on scene in no way contributed to her death. As such, I have terminated the investigation into this incident.”
The investigation was done before the Ontario Government amended the law so that police officers would not be subject to SIU investigations for attempting to save a life through the use of Nalaxone. Nalaxone is used to try and reverse the effects of an overdose.
