According to the Centers for Disease Control, drug overdose is now the leading cause of injury death in the United States. As of 2010, opioids such as heroin account for approximately 75 – 80% of those deaths. In fact, overdose rates have increased five-fold since 1990 and Illinois is one of 16 states in which more people die of drug overdoses than car accidents. This practically-oriented 4 hour training program has been designed to provide sworn and civilian law enforcement personnel with the information and skills needed to intervene during calls for service involving possible opioid overdoses and to potentially save the lives of individuals experiencing overdoses. Additionally, this program will provide students with an overview of Public Act 099-0711, also referred to as the Annie LeGere Law, which requires training on recognizing the symptoms of allergic reactions and the administration of Epinephrine, primarily through the use of EpiPen auto injectors. By the end of this class, students will be able to do the following: - Obtain a baseline awareness of the opiate overdose problem - Review basic myths/facts surrounding opioid use - Understand how opioids affect the human body - Recognize the characteristics of an opioid overdose - Respond appropriately to an opioid overdose - Properly administer naloxone to someone who has overdosed - Become familiar with Illinois Public Acts 096-0361 and 099-0711 - Comply with reporting requirements of each Act and ensure that department policy is in alignment with these requirements. - Become familiarized with the symptoms of an allergic reaction - Respond appropriately to emergencies involving individuals with known allergies as well as those with previously unknown allergies - Properly administer an Epinephrine auto-injector to someone in the midst of an allergic reaction This course has been certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board.
