LEAP-GLEPHA Webinar: Police and Overdose Prevention Sites

8 Oct 2020 11:27 AM | Anonymous


To prevent overdose deaths, reduce hospitalization, and help bring more people into recovery, over 65 cities around the world have established Overdose Prevention Sites (OPS), facilities where people can bring in their own drugs and use in a clean environment under supervision. As many cities in the US and worldwide move toward opening OPSs, police wonder how the change will impact their work. Join LEAP for a conversation with police who have worked with OPSs from Canada and Denmark about the everyday benefits and challenges of policing a city with OPSs.

Speakers:

  • Inspector Bill Spearn, Vancouver Police Department, Canada
  • Staff Sergeant Conor King, Victoria Police Department, Canada
  • Superintendent Henrik Oryé (Ret.), Copenhagen Police, Denmark
  • Moderator: Major Neill Franklin (Ret.), Executive Director, LEAP US
  • Comments: Detective Sergeant Neil Woods (Ret.), Chairman, LEAP UK
