Fentanyl: The Real Deal – Roll Call Training

First responders are increasingly likely to encounter fentanyl and other synthetic opioids during the course of their daily activities, such as overdose calls and traffic stops, arrests, and searches.

To help first responders protect themselves when the presence of fentanyl is suspected or encountered, a Federal Interagency Working Group coordinated by the National Security Council developed Fentanyl Safety Recommendations for First Responders and the companion roll call training video, Fentanyl: The Real Deal.
