"Research shows the growing risk of toxic opioid exposure for first responders and medical professionals. First responders arriving at the scene of a suspected drug overdose, law enforcement officers searching an area for illicit drugs or medical professionals performing overdose reversal treatment are often at risk of being exposed to toxic substances such as heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil or other synthetic and non-synthetic opioids," says Frank Tropper, Director of Global Programs, NineSigma. While advancements in chipsets for future handheld in-field tools, personal protection kits, opioid antidotes and K-9 protective equipment are available for purchase, the struggle remains that best measures for law enforcement to respond to this disaster can change as quickly as the drugs do.

Joel F. Shults, founder of the National Center for Police Advocacy, writes: "A recent report in Newsweek showed that law enforcement agencies have acquired six billion dollars of military surplus equipment over the past 18 years. The article, titled 'Militarization of Police,' points out the majority of products fall in the 'uncontrolled' category. The article also states that some police agencies have been expelled from the program. The bugaboo about militarization seemed to have subsided since the issue made headlines during the civil disturbances of the past half-decade or so. If it is going to raise its silly head again, we all need to remember a few realities."
