Joplin police department secures NARCAN for K9 safety
(KODE & KSN) — You've likely heard about the risks for a drug overdose with even the smallest amount of fentanyl. It's a risk that isn't limited to humans. K9 officers can face the same consequences from detecting opioids. They can be treated with Narcan, the same medication used for a human opioid overdose. The Joplin Police Department recently got preventative assistance with additional doses of the drug from the Indiana group, 'Protecting K9 Heroes'. 'So, if the handler decides there is too much risk to his K9 partner, his dog won't be utilized. And so, they go to great extremes to ensure the safety of the K9s. And this Narcan is just one more way to ensure they are protecting their dogs. And the department is protecting our K9s,' said JPD Capt. Austin Wolf. There's a risk with any of the drugs a K9 can detect—but fentanyl poses the greatest danger since even a tiny amount can be fatal.
