Naloxone

Deputies with the Laramie County Sheriff's Office are being credited for saving the life of an inmate who was suffering from a drug overdose.

Naloxone, or Narcan, is a nasal spray which troopers began carrying in March.

The Albany County Sheriff's Office and University of Wyoming Police Department began carrying the drug this year.

Sheriff David O’Malley said the hope is that access to naloxone will reduce drug-related deaths in Albany county.
