Press Release: Emeryville Officers revive victim with naloxone. 
On September 13, 2019, EPD Officers were flagged down in the rear of the East Bay Bridge Shopping Center on a report of a subject down. Officer located the subject and discovered he was suffering from an apparent drug overdose. Officers administered two doses of naloxone and revived the subject. The subject was transported to the hospital for treatment.
In response to the epidemic of drug overdoses from both prescription and illicit opioids, the Emeryville Police Department trained its officers on the recognition of an opioid overdose and supplied its officers with Naloxone. We want the community to know that calling 911 for assistance with a drug ingestion issue will not result in any criminal charges for being under the influence of an illegal substance. Seeking help is not a crime.
