Border Patrol trains Juarez officers in drug-overdose response

Specific operations officers train Mexican police officers for ambushes, and BorSTAR members have experience handling health emergencies.

EL PASO, Texas ( Frontier Report )– Fentanyl overdoses are no longer a growing trend just north of the Rio Grande. In Juarez, Mexico, there has also increased the number of fatalities and dangerous chemical drugs trafficked on their roads over the past two years.

The U.S. Border Patrol shared its experience with 25 people of the Juarez metropolitan police department regarding responding to health emergencies like drug overdoses, stopping bleeding, and providing CPR.

The Juarez police said that agents working in the Border Patrol Search, Trauma and Rescue ( BORSTAR ) unit also demonstrated to the Mexican officers how to apply tourniquets and compression to those harmed from injuries caused by sharp objects or bullets.

Specific operations officers used defensive tactics when confronting ambushes, deploying, or handling dust or tear gas.

The Hispanic law enforcement agency stated in a statement that the teaching “reflects the Municipal Public Safety Secretariat’s devotion to modernise our police officers and better serve our people.”

The education began on Tuesday and wrapped up at the Juarez authorities headquarters on Friday.

The Hispanic federal government may approve of U.S. law enforcement or military personnel’s established reputation.

Additional training sessions are scheduled to take place in Juarez between June 23 and June 29, according to an April 23 speech from the Mexican Senate. That was approved by the Senate next year as part of the Fuerzas Amigas 2024 software.
