As concerns over fentanyl grow across Ontario, many OPP officers will soon be able to help prevent opioid overdoses.
The Killaloe OPP has announced naloxone, a nasal spray which can prevent overdoses for 20 minutes, will be given to officers to protect themselves from accidental exposure and to others in life-threatening situations.
Police say this is to address the fentanyl crisis, a drug which is 100 times more powerful than morphine.
