Updated on 19 February 2024

Summary

From April 2014 to October 2015, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) began a pilot program to administer naloxone as first responders at the scene of an overdose instead of waiting on emergency medical services (EMS). We received data from this 18 month period on the individuals who received the naloxone as a result of this pilot both from IMPD as well as the Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services (IEMS). In order to further study the effect of an individual's initial interaction (IMPD or IEMS) at the time of their overdose, we will link EMS, vital records, and jail/arrest data from these cases. The outcomes we will assess are arrest, jail, repeat overdose (via EMS contact with naloxone administration), and mortality (over 1-year and 2-year periods).
