The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office released a video which showed a man with what they say are all the signs of an overdose. He had a strong pulse but wasn’t breathing, pinpoint pupils, and he began turning blue in the face. The responding deputies administered Narcan, or naloxone hydrochloride. The drug essentially reverses an overdose. Within three minutes, the man became responsive. “Our main goal here is to save lives, to give a person another chance,” said Corporal Sherryl Johnson-Tandy, who tracks the agency’s Narcan use and provides deputies with training. The man in the video got another chance because the deputies carried Narcan on them. “2017 was the first year that Pasco County began to experience some of the consequences associated with the opioid crisis,” said Captain Mike Jenkins.
The chemical agent has been deployed 65 times in Pasco County since March of 2017 to those who have overdosed on opioids. In 63 of those cases, Narcan revived the person. “This drug does not work if it’s a cocaine-related,” said Cpl. Johnson-Tandy. “It only works on opioids. Both of those had actual cocaine in their systems.” More than 900 Pasco County employees are trained to use Narcan. More than 660 deputies carry rescue kits on them every day. “We recognize that we cannot arrest our way out of this problem,” said Capt. Jenkins. “So, the deployment of Narcan is one of the strategies we are utilizing to address this issue.” Narcan is a one-time use nasal spray or it can also be administered intravenously.

That happened to me three years ago. Thank God I have recovered and now live a very nice, thankful life.
I just have zero sympathy for these people. Sorry, I just don’t care if they die. Every god damn one of them is slowly committing suicide so let them live or die on their own terms!
I don’t do drugs, but I absolutely need my husband to put narcan on my left nostril to be able to wake up on Mondays and go to work.
🎶 Who can save Florida man? Narcan! Narcan! 🎶
Narcan is unbelievable
Another Florida man
I wish i had this stuff when i was saving my mother from an overdose. I think god i didnt leave the house that night. Life is valuable
Good job. I've seen them die in front of me and its the dumbest shit I've ever seen. Sad we can't bring humans to higher standards and self preservation
I HATE NARCAN. Cruel to addicts and especially to society.
My brother died from opioids
What a loser, he probably tried to get money from working just to get drugs. UG UAGH UAGHU UAGH LOSER
Defund the police!!!! No we will not, they save more people than they kill, and those that get killed are 99% of the time criminals that deserved it.
Jesus loves u all so much
And acab wants to defund the police. Stupid liberals
Not the worst job interview I've seen.
There so slow with their jobs 😂😂🤦ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
Why blur his face in the video if it clearly shows his face in the thumbnail?
thank god im only smoking weed
This is BS… people have to pay for life saving epi pens or insulin.. But a damn addict gets NARCAN free because HE CHOSE TO GET HIGH.. That's wrong
If he was black they would have gave him more drugs
I like how you blurred the face and not the thumbnail.
Florida ? Not surprised 😂
Guy is lucky that cop was there.
Great work saving this man's life. Cudos to all law enforcement.
I just love how they are in absolutely no rush to help this man, shit is crazy. Don’t so drugs guys you will have someone careless like police officers trying to help you, they don’t want to help you. That’s not something they are taught. Cops are people that got picked on in school and want revenge or they are too fat and lazy for the military so they have to settle for the police academy 😂😂 this is legit information
He’s a United States police officer, why the hell would he want to save that citizen!?!? Cops hate citizens!!!!!
He didn’t save nothing, just prolonging his suffering.
imagine overdosing and waking up on YouTube with big viewsðŸ˜
Quit saving these pieces of shit. Just let them die.
Can't be the only one who thaught it was STEVO IN the thumbnail
So scary …!
