Submission title or project name:
The carriage of Naloxone by police officers to address drug-related deaths in Scotland

Nominee or key personnel:
Peter Hillen; Nadine Dougall; Inga Heyman

Abridged submission:
The total number of drug-related deaths (DRDs) in Scotland has increased substantially over the past 20 years. Although police officers are potentially well placed to provide emergency first aid for overdose sufferers, there was no precedent for this in the UK or evidence to suggest it was feasible or acceptable. This pilot project tested the carriage and administration of intranasal Naloxone by officers.

Police records indicate that all recipients of Naloxone administration during the pilot survived these overdose events and no adverse effects were reported. 16,600 police officers now carry Naloxone as part of their standard kit, and Scotland is the only country where every officer is trained and equipped at the point of recruitment.

As of 4 March 2024, there were 452 incidents where police officers administered Naloxone to save a person experiencing an overdose, and Police Scotland now plays a significant role in reducing the annual DRDs in Scotland.
