The responsible conduct of police participatory research
The responsible conduct of research must be sensitive to the unique ethical concerns of the police setting, but we have yet to develop an empirical understanding of the ethics of research involving police officers as participants. To develop such an understanding, this study collected qualitative data from 30 officers serving in eight agencies throughout the United States. The interviews situated their ethical sensibilities about research in rela…
Police experiences with cannabis legalization and perceptions of broader drug policy reform
Business and Service Provider Attitudes Towards Police Involvement in Overdose Response
Why innovations in policing don’t work or don’t translate
This study examined organizational and community-level barriers and facilitators that influence innovation in policing using an implementation science framework. A body of 31 survey items operationalized for implementation in police settings were mapped onto the constructs of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. The resulting instrument was administered to 72 police leaders and researchers. Respondents agreed implementation bor…
The Portuguese police experience with drug decriminalisation
As attempts to decriminalise the personal possession of drugs have foundered in North America over concerns about its negative effects on crime and public order, Portugal's 2001 decriminalisation strategy remains widely regarded as the most successful reform to date. Despite this success, there is little research about the experience of Portugal's national police as central actors in the initiative. Addressing this gap, this study investigated Po…
A qualitative study of police officers’ knowledge of the relationship between police opioid seizures and subsequent risk of overdose
People who use opioids (PWUO) have asserted police opioid seizures increase risk of overdose in their proximate aftermath. Ecological studies and causal models exhibit a positive association between police opioid seizures and overdose risk. To further characterize this relationship, this qualitative study explores how police officers who conduct drug enforcement understand the relationship between their opioid seizures and overdose risk. Semi-str…
Beliefs of US chiefs of police about substance use disorder, fentanyl exposure, overdose response, and use of discretion
The Police Opioid Seizure Temporal Risk (PosteR) model of increased exposure to fatal overdose
Strategies that emphasize police opioid seizures as an acceptable way to reduce the prevalence of illicit drugs in a community without accounting for the elevated risk of fatal overdose that results can worsen one of the most significant problems they are meant to address
Journey mapping drug seizures among police, public health and local nonprofit professionals, and community members who use drugs
The effects of message framing on US police chiefs’ support for interventions for opioid use disorder
Linkage facilitation for opioid use disorder in criminal legal system contexts
At the intersection of drug policy, the opioid crisis, and fragmented care systems, persons with opioid use disorder (OUD) in the United States are significantly vulnerable to contact with the criminal legal system (CLS). In CLS settings, provision of evidence-based treatment for OUD is variable and often secondary to punitive approaches. Linkage facilitation at every touch point along the CLS Sequential Intercept Model has potential to redirect …
Disparities in the accuracy of reporting opioid overdoses to 9-1-1 by race and sex of overdose victim, Marion County, Indiana, 2011–2020
Registering a proposed business reduces police stops of innocent people? Reconsidering the effects of strip clubs on sex crimes found in Ciacci & Sviatschi’s study of New York City
concluded that opening new adult entertainment businesses reduces sex crimes, with the most compelling finding that '[strip clubs, gentleman's clubs, and escort services] decrease sex crime by 13% per police precinct one week after the opening.' We contend that the study's conclusions speak beyond the data, which cannot support these findings because they do not measure the necessary variables. The study uses the date a business is registered wit…
Police Stigma toward People with Opioid Use Disorder
BackgroundFatal opioid overdoses continue to break historical records. Stigma toward people with opioid use disorder (OUD) can negatively impact treatment access, retention, and recovery. Attitudes and beliefs of police officers can profoundly shape key discretionary decisions. Therefore, we examined police officer views indicating stigma toward those with OUD.ObjectivesWe administered an online survey to select Illinois police departments using …

Spatiotemporal Analysis Exploring the Effect of Law Enforcement Drug Market Disruptions on Overdose, Indianapolis, Indiana, 2020–2021
Objectives. To test the hypothesis that law enforcement efforts to disrupt local drug markets by seizing opioids or stimulants are associated with increased spatiotemporal clustering of overdose events in the surrounding geographic area. Methods. We performed a retrospective (January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021), population-based cohort study using administrative data from Marion County, Indiana. We compared frequency and characteristics of drug…
Barriers to medications for opioid use disorder in the court system
The Police and the State
As we wrestle with the role and limits of policing, a political philosopher who spent over two decades as a New York City police officer and Vermont chief of police presents a normative account of what it means to police a pluralist democracy. Invoking his vast experience, Brandon del Pozo argues that we all have the prerogative to use force to protect others, but police embody the government's unique duty to do so effectively and with restraint.…
Reports of accidental fentanyl overdose among police in the field
CommunityStat
From 2017 to early 2020, the US city of Burlington, Vermont led a county-wide effort to reduce opioid overdose deaths by concentrating on the widespread, low-barrier distribution of medications for opioid use disorder. As a small city without a public health staff, the initiative was led out of the police department—with an understanding that it would not be enforcement-oriented—and centered on a local adaptation of CompStat, a management and acc…

Can touch this
Misinformation about overdose risk from accidentally inhaling or touching fentanyl is widespread among police in the United States. This may aggravate already elevated burdens of officer stress and burnout, while chilling lifesaving overdose response. Police education has shown promise in reducing false beliefs about fentanyl. To better understand the potential of training interventions in correcting officer knowledge, we administered a 10-min on…
Complexity, Lethality, and the Perverse Imagination
In the pursuit of security, state actors presume a linear relationship between the lethality and complexity of various means of attack. They deploy resources and research programs to overcome the inherent or "analytic" complexity of increasingly lethal means of their own (think of programs to develop nuclear weapons and other highly lethal munitions), and they impose security, legal and regulatory regimes to increase the imposed or "synthetic" co…
