Scots police officers to carry drug overdose nasal spray

Police Scotland are set to train all operational officers in using a life-saving drug overdose nasal spray.

Chief Constable Iain Livingstone has announced cops will be equipped with Naloxone, which can be given to people who have suffered an overdose from opioids such as heroin.

The national roll-out comes after a successful test of change in Dundee, Falkirk, Glasgow, Stirling and Caithness during which officers used the spray to provide first aid 62 times.
