BAAHHHHH!!!!aggiehawg said:In the MPD, they have to be trained and certified to use narcan in the field. No doubt Lane was so trained since he just got out of the academy but the female officer who is in charge of medical training said that the narcan module was not always covered during inservice training.Quote:
I bet LEO's haven't been licensed to prescribe drugs or sedatives either, or inject them or many of the other things you do as well.
Lawyers and splitting hairs!
Let me rephrase:
Generally speaking, LEO's are not tasked with prescribing or administering most medications. I believe they are not even tasked with drawing blood in DWI situations, though I may be wrong on that as I've never been in a position to know one way or another.
Just like doctors, generally speaking, aren't required to carry firearms and have range qualifications annually to keep their medical certifications up to date.
There woman - better?
