Kamsack RCMP are warning the public of a potentially-dangerous drug circulating in the Kamsack area. Officers have responded to multiple reports of overdoses over the past two days – including three within an hour on Wednesday. Officers are not aware of any deaths related to the overdoses, but naloxone and other medical interventions were required. Kamsack RCMP, which has notified the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health, urges individuals to recognize the symptoms of an overdose. If someone witnesses an overdose, authorities advocate calling 911 immediately. Emergency responders, including frontline Saskatchewan RCMP officers, carry naloxone, a fast-acting drug used to temporarily reverse the effects of overdoses caused by opioids.
