On Monday, March 29, deputies responded to a report of an overdose in a wooded area in New Port Richey. The first deputy on scene was met by a citizen who directed the deputy to the individual in the woods, who was unconscious, turning blue and had no pulse. While another citizen was performing chest compressions, the deputy administered a dose of Narcan to the individual, which didn’t have any effect. The deputy administered a second dose of Narcan and took over chest compressions. The deputy was able to feel a slight pulse, but the individual was still not breathing and the pulse began to fade.

The deputy then administered a third dose of Narcan and a pulse returned. Another deputy arrived and began assisting the individual’s breathing with a respirator. As Pasco Fire Rescue arrived on scene, the individual regained consciousness and sat up. He was taken to the hospital, where he ultimately survived the overdose. Every PSO deputy carries Narcan to aid in reversing the effects of narcotics overdoses.

Not only do narcotics affect those who who are overdosing, but can potentially affect the deputies and K9s responding to these calls as well. The first deputy to respond administered three doses of Narcan that she’s carrying as part of her assignment as a K9 deputy. Overdoses, like many other calls for service, are dangerous calls to which deputies respond each and every day.

We share videos such as this to share the human side of these types of calls and reiterate Sheriff Nocco’s messages about substance abuse, as well as mental health, and assisting those in crisis.
