Police officers in Ontario will no longer face investigations by the provincewide watchdog if someone dies after they administer naloxone, an anti-overdose medication, the provincial government has announced -- and it's welcome news to London police officials.
“No one should face unfair repercussions just because they are doing their job and trying to save a life,” Sylvia Jones, Ontario’s minister of community safety and correctional services, said in a statement. “This amendment will enable police officers to carry out their duties without fear of facing a criminal investigation, but more importantly, it will also help save countless lives.”
