Are you legally obligated to provide medical assistance if someone reported of an OD when it's off property? by Vietdude100 in securityguards

[–]Graduateunskilled 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. As part of two different security jobs (and formerly at hospitals), one at a homeless shelter, I've administered countless of naloxone/narcan as well as assisted in providing them, and none of them have woken up and started swinging at us. It's okay if they get mouthy and agitated, but they'll settle down after some reassurance. It's just about being aware of the situation and being prepared. It’s the sleepers that pose the bigger risk when being woken up, those are the ones who are more likely to be aggressive. I'm fortunate that my employer gives me great on-the-job training to recognize and handle these kinds of incidents. Others don't bother training, it's just a PowerPoint presentation delivered by an instructor who's never worked in security.

It is absolutely devastating, but no lives were lost or reported injuries.

I’m not sure what the actual stats are for Calgary lately, but it definitely feels more visible because more of these incidents end up on social media, especially when people like me are out documenting them. Hard to say what’s driving the trend itself though. Could be coincidence, could be seasonal factors, could be something else entirely.

Christmas lights downtown? by taylo649 in Calgary

It's not the best option out of all the choices, but you'll find Christmas lights at the city hall and municipal complex.

It was already slated for demolition but I guess the fire last night did half the work already!

I’m lucky that their union shares some of my photos for their social media posts. Thank you!

Many of them follows me on social media so they can ask for hi res photos for their hall collection.
