SF Police to Start Pilot Program Aimed at Reducing Drug Overdose Deaths

San Francisco police this week will begin a pilot program to distribute naloxone, a drug that reverses the effects of opioid drugs.

The program will help officers save lives in overdose cases, which are the most common accidental deaths in the nation, police said.

Opioid drugs include heroin and prescription painkillers. Opioid prescription painkiller deaths have outpaced heroin-related deaths in San Francisco and are a threat to public health, police said.

The pilot program will begin with Metro Division officers who work in the northeastern and downtown areas of San Francisco, including the Central, Southern, Mission, Northern and Tenderloin police stations.

In the past few months, police officers have been learning to identify opioid overdoses and administer naloxone as an antidote to save lives. Naloxone goes by the trade name Narcan.

A group of seven male suspects dragged a 24-year-old man off of a San Francisco Municipal Railway bus early Thursday morning in the city’s Visitacion Valley neighborhood before pointing a gun and a knife at him and robbing him of his belongings, a police spokesman said.

San Francisco police received a report that the suspects had dragged the victim off the bus near the intersection of Santos Street and Velasco Avenue, near the Sunnydale public housing complex at about 3:30 a.m.

The seven suspects were all described as black males between 17 and 20 years old and dressed in dark clothing, according to San Francisco police spokesman Officer Albie Esparza.

After dragging the victim off the bus, one of the suspects brandished a handgun while another suspect brandished a knife, Esparza said.

The suspects demanded the victim’s property and made off with his cellphone, backpack and wallet containing cash, according to police.

The suspects fled on foot prior to the arrival of police and have not been arrested, Esparza said.
