Social Implications
Evidence submitted by charity, Scottish Families Affected by Drugs and Alcohol has already demonstrated that the police carriage has influenced the public to carry Naloxone. This has included members of the general public, police officers from various constabularies when off duty and private organisations expressing their desire to carry Naloxone. This approach is one tool officers will have at their disposal to support some of the most vulnerable members of society, thus challenging both barriers and stigma alike.
