In No Police at Overdoses illustrators nicole marie burton and Hugh D. A. Goldring examine the overdose crisis in Canada. The chapter explores how, through the use of police to address overdose calls, victims are often made to feel like criminals and have to face potential criminalization when seeking medical help. The chapter discusses the need to reassess how we address overdoes, the ongoing opioid crisis, the decriminalize of drug possession, safe supply, and more.
