Deputies Administer Lifesaving Aid During Overdose Response

On Saturday, September 6, 2025, at approximately 8:08 PM, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Regional Communications Center received a call reporting an overdose at a residence in the Security-Widefield area of unincorporated El Paso County.

Upon arrival, deputies located a 40-year-old male, unresponsive on the floor. The reporting party was on the phone with an emergency dispatcher and administering CPR to the unresponsive individual. Deputies immediately took over CPR and administered Narcan.

Emergency medical personnel from the Security Fire Department soon arrived and continued lifesaving measures- administering a second dose of Narcan and using an automated external defibrillator (AED). Thankfully, the individual regained consciousness.

During the response, deputies also located and seized over 100 grams of methamphetamine from inside the residence.

“This incident is a stark reminder of the deadly dangers posed by illegal narcotics in our community,” said Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “The individual involved was extremely fortunate—fortunate a friend recognized the emergency and called 911, fortunate for the professionalism of our dispatchers, and fortunate for the rapid, coordinated response of our deputies and medical personnel. Without those actions, this overdose could have had a very different outcome. While we remain steadfast in our enforcement efforts, we also urge the public to understand the life-threatening risks these substances bring into our homes and neighborhoods.”

Narcan (naloxone) is available to the public at El Paso County Public Health locations. Community members can obtain free Narcan kits (two 4mg nasal spray doses per kit) from 8 AM – 4 PM (except lunch break from 12 p.m. -1 p.m.) Monday through Friday.
