    This directive, issued by the New Jersey Acting Attorney General, includes guidance on statewide training and arrest procedures related to drug overdose responses.

    How often do law enforcement overdose response program participants need to be re-trained?

    There are currently no legal requirements for retraining in law enforcement overdose response programs. Just like with any other law enforcement activity, annual or other periodic re-training may be needed to ensure effective and compliant practices. In some jurisdictions, refresher trainings have become part of the annual training programs.

    Who is responsible for the delivery of the education and training element of a law enforcement overdose response program?

    Several options exist for providing training to law enforcement overdose response program participants.
