Anchorage Police Chief Michael Kerle said that the police department will reconsider its longstanding policy of officers not carrying naloxone, a drug that can quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose that might otherwise be fatal.
Winnie Nabors, left, and Liz Ashlock carry signs on Fourth Avenue. Several people gathered in front of Anchorage police headquarters downtown Tuesday to urge police officers to carry naloxone.
“I just read the article, and now says he doesn’t have a problem with us carrying it anymore. So we’re going to evaluate whether we should carry it,” Kerle said. Levy told the Daily News that he has no issue with Anchorage police officers carrying naloxone, either to administer or distribute — as long as officers were properly trained, and as long as administering CPR remained their priority, too. He said he’d support such a move “if it was the wish of the police department leadership to do that.”
In light of the rise in overdoses, health officials have encouraged Alaskans to keep naloxone on hand in case of an overdose.
