Recommendation 59

We recommend that the Home Office requires all 43 police forces in England and Wales to roll out the voluntary provision of naloxone by operational officers. Volunteer officers must be provided with adequate training in the carrying and administration of naloxone before they can carry it on duty. The Home Office must provide additional funding to all 43 forces to supply naloxone and to support the training of officers on the administration of naloxone. The Home Office must also work with policing and health partners to devise guidance on the carrying and administration of naloxone for operational police officers. All 43 police forces must record when its officers have administered naloxone, and the surrounding circumstances, in order to better understand the use of the treatment in emergency situations.
