Regina police say they are aware of 85 drug overdoses in the city this year, an average of more than one per day.
According to police, three people have died and another three deaths are still under investigation.
Of the overdoses, police responded to 51 of them and administered naloxone 18 times.
“The Regina Police Service continues to urge the public to be aware of the threat posed by street drugs; in particular, fentanyl. Anyone who is an active user of illicit fentanyl or fentanyl analogs is in danger,” said a police media release issued Wednesday.
“Even if people are not making good choices for themselves, others around them should be aware of the higher-than-usual potential for drug overdose and have a safety plan.”
Police are urging members of the public to call 911 if they suspect a drug overdose, adding the law offers some protection to those who call for help in an emergency.
Naloxone kits are also available for people to take home.
Anyone with information about the overdoses is asked to call the Regina Police Service at 306-777-6500 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
