More than ever, American law enforcement officers are responding to opioid and stimulant-involved calls. These encounters can be challenging and dispiriting. They add to officers’ already high levels of stress and burnout. Encountering the same community members over and over again can make the work feel futile. Relatedly, many officers are concerned about their occupational health and safety. Few officers are receiving adequate training or tools to respond effectively. This training from the SHIELD Training Initiative will equip officers to perform overdose crisis response work safely and effectively.
SHIELD provides key facts and strategies that are evidence-based and tailored to the specific contexts of each local jurisdiction we train. The curriculum provides scientifically accurate knowledge on risk and best practices to protect officer safety in overdose crisis response work. SHIELD takes the crucial next step of providing actionable practices, such as task shifting to community-based specialists, to reduce burdens on officers and improve their occupational safety, wellness, and effectiveness.
