Opioids and Police Safety

View Abstract

Speaker/s

Janie Simmons, NDRI-USA

Abstract

Dr. Simmons will present an overview of a CDC-funded study she and her team completed last year. This study involved designing and evaluating a computer-based training aimed at harmonizing policing and public health in relation to opioid users and overdose events. It is framed as an opioid-related occupational safety training to minimize barriers to overdose response among police officers. After introducing the training, she will present her team's recent (and ongoing) analyses regarding police officers' perceptions of fentanyl and COVID.
