The increase in heroin and fentanyl abuse has law enforcement fearing for their safety and the users they come across.
Agencies are looking to invest in emergency overdose medicine that officers can carry with them on the job. In this week's Crimewatch, FOX 7’s Noelle Newton looks into the situation.
In July the DEA put out a warning advising officers to exercise extreme caution when handling fentanyl."It's changing the way we do raids and warrants and even the way we test narcotics," said Deaton. "With the prevalence of it out there on the market we have to be really cognizant every time that we do testing that we're real careful, we're methodical, we're wearing the right safety equipment and clothing, etc.
That very scenario is captured on video released by the Upper Darby Police Department in Delaware. A man is shown shooting up heroin on a bus. He then passes out and is then given Narcan. Soon after he's up and able to walk from the bus.
