Brockville Police Reports – July 28, 2023: Medical Emergencies Due to Drug Overdose, Defamatory Propaganda Posted Referencing Children’s Services & Union Dispute

Brockville – Police reports from the Brockville Police Service from July 27 & 28, 2023.

Medical Emergencies Due to Drug Overdose:

On July 27, 2023, police responded to multiple calls for service regarding individuals in distress due to drug overdoses. In two of these calls, Narcan was administered to two individuals in need. In total, 11 doses of Narcan were administered as a life-saving measure.

In one of these incidents, at about 10:00 PM, officers administered 8 doses of Narcan in conjunction with the deliberator in giving aid to a subject at the Days Inn. These actions by the officers saved this person’s life. Thankfully, Paramedics attended with their expertise and escorted the male to the Brockville General Hospital where he is recovering. This is another great example of the excellent work by all the dedicated first responders in our area; and an important reminder of the dangers of substance use.

Defamatory Propaganda:

It has come to the attention of the Brockville Police Service that defamatory propaganda has been posted around our community, with reference to the ongoing Family and Children’s Services Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and CUPE Union labour dispute.

Neither Family and Children’s Services, CUPE nor the Brockville Police Service condone this type of behaviour. If anyone has information as to who is responsible for posting this content, please notify the Brockville Police Service at 613-342-0127.
