| Officer C.K. Robertson |
"Officers with the Winston-Salem Police Department responded
to reports of a unconscious female slumped over in a white Honda Accord in the
parking lot of 7736 North Point Blvd.
Officers located a 22-year-old, white female who was
unconscious and not breathing. Officer
C.K. Robertson was one of the officers who responded to the call. Officer Robertson has received specialized
training to recognize opioid related overdose signs and to administer nasal naloxone
hydrochloride to resuscitate a subject in the early stages of an overdose. The female responded to the naloxone
hydrochloride and began breathing and quickly regained consciousness. Winston-Salem Fire Department and EMS
personnel responded and continued medical care of the female who was
transported to NC Baptist Medical Center where she was treated and later
released.
The Winston-Salem Police Department requests that anyone
with information regarding this incident to contact CrimeStoppers at
336-727-2800.
In the spring of 2015, the Winston-Salem Police Department began
a training initiative for a select group of officers to recognize opioid
related overdose signs and to administer nasal naloxone hydrochloride to
resuscitate a subject in the early stages of an overdose. This effort was in response to the rising
number of drug related overdoses in Winston-Salem. Currently 80 Winston-Salem Police Officers
have received the training and nasal naloxone kits. This program will be expanded for additional
officers later this year.
Officer Robertson is a veteran Police Officer and has been
employed with the City of Winston-Salem since February 2011. He is currently assigned to the Patrol
Division, District 1."
