Hawaii cop forced to self-administer dose of Narcan after potential fentanyl exposure The officer was treated at the hospital and has since returned to duty
A Hawaii police officer administered a dose of Narcan to herself over fears of fentanyl exposure while responding to an overdose call
“What the officer did was a good choice at the time with all the unknowns,” Hawaii County Police Captain Rio Amon-Wilkins said earlier this week, according to a Hawaii News Now report.
The officer, whose name has not been released, was responding to a fatal overdose call when she became concerned that she was exposed to fentanyl during the call, which can be lethal in small doses. Law enforcement has yet to confirm what drug the victim at the scene fatally overdosed on.
