2025/28723 - Naloxone in Custody Suites

REQUEST

I am submitting a freedom of information request about the use of naloxone in custody suites.

Please could you tell me, from 1 Jan 2022 to present:

1. If the force has naloxone in its custody suites
2. The number of times naloxone was used in custody by the force
3. The number of patients/arrestees naloxone was used on
4. The number of drug overdoses in custody
5. The number of deaths from drug overdoses in custody

If you have numerical data broken down by month, then that would be fantastic. If not, broken down by calendar year is fine. Failing that, a total across all requested years would be acceptable if it allows you to comply with my request.

If naloxone was introduced in custody suites after 1 Jan 2022, please let me know when.

Also, please could you provide information on who administers the naloxone – eg police officers or healthcare professionals.
