“One of the biggest concerns we have right now is dealing with fentanyl exposure. Fentanyl is not just a police problem, or a CST problem. It’s everyone’s problem. We are seeing more and more fatalities from fentanyl exposure. The goal of this training is safety. We want to make sure that when these guys enter a situation and see evidence of fentanyl, they know what to do.”-Michael Cashman, retired DEA
Fentanyl can be ingested orally, inhaled through the nose or mouth, or absorbed through the skin or eyes, any substance suspected to contain fentanyl must be treated with extreme caution as exposure to even a small amount can lead to significant health-related complications, respiratory depression, or death.
