`
`PEORIA, Ariz. - The Peoria Police Department released body
`camera footage showing officers work to save the life of a man
`who overdosed on heroin.
`
`The powerful video shows the quick actions officers took.
`
`As the opioid crisis worsens, officers across the Valley and the
`country have been equipped with the drug Narcan, which
`reverses the effects of an overdose. Peoria police officers
`found a man unresponsive and a friend trying to perform CPR.
`
`Officer: “We’ll need Narcan and the CPR mask just in case.”
`
`Peoria police responded to a heroin overdose call in October near 83rd Avenue and Thunderbird
`Road with sirens blaring.
`
`Woman: “I couldn’t lift him… I couldn’t… he’s so heavy.”
`
`Officer: “Step out, step out, step out, step out.”
`
`When officers arrived on scene, they discovered a 23-year old man unresponsive and a woman
`crying.
`
`Officer: “Is he using heroin?”
`
`Woman: “I’m almost positive.”
`
`Officer: “Alright, get him with the Narcan.”
`
`Officers administered a 4-milligram nasal spray of a prescription called Narcan, which
`counteracts the life-threatening effects of opioid drug overdoses.
`
`Officer: “Come on back.”
`
`Officer: “How much heroin did he do?”
`
`Woman: “I don’t know, I wasn’t with him.”
`
`Officer: “How much does he normally do?”
`
`Woman: “I don’t know.”
`
`Soon after, the man’s condition starts improving.
`
`Officer: “I’ve got a pulse. He’s breathing.”
`
`Peoria firefighters arrived and continued treatment, then transported the man to the hospital in
`stable condition.
`
`It appears the quick actions by Peoria Police Officers, using their recent Narcan training, most
`likely saved this man's life.

`
`
`
`Officer: “Narcan worked. So it’s some kind of opioid … subject is now breathing.”
`
`Woman: “Thank you.”
`
`Police officers are typically the initial first responders on scene before medical help arrives.
`
`So all of the officers in Peoria have recently completed training on how to administer Narcan to
`potential opioid overdoses, and as you can see, it’s already making a difference.
