Justice Department Announces Release of New Fentanyl Safety Video for First Responders
The Office of Justice Programs’ Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) released the Fentanyl Safety Recommendations for First Responders’ companion training video Fentanyl: The Real Deal. The video was produced by US Customs and Border Protection to help first responders protect themselves when the presence of fentanyl is suspected or encountered on the job. The video is available here.
Fentanyl: The Real Deal provides recommendations to law enforcement on how to navigate safely around the increased prevalence of fentanyl in the illicit drug market. The video provides first responders with unified, scientific, and evidence-based recommendations for protective actions first responders should take when the presence of fentanyl is suspected, when exposure occurs, and when individuals exhibit signs of opioid intoxication.
The new training video, as well as the Fentanyl Safety Recommendations for First Responders released in November 2017, is the result of a Federal Interagency Working Group coordinated by the White House National Security Council. Agencies represented on the working group include the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Homeland Security; the Office of the Director of National Intelligence; the Office of National Drug Control Policy; the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health; and the US Postal Inspection Service, in collaboration with 24 stakeholder organizations.
