National version

The national version of the video features Capt. Sonny Leeper of the Albuquerque Police Dept. speaking about the benefits of syringe exchange to law enforcement. Using a powerpoint presentation, Capt. Leeper discusses his experience moving from a syringe exchange detractor to supporter. He also goes over situations where law enforcement is at risk of needle stick injury and steps that can be taken to reduce that risk, including referring people to SEPs and allowing them to keep their SEP-issued cards and syringes. This DVD is perfect for 'roll call' type trainings and runs approx. 16 minutes.

Philadelphia Version

This version of the video includes Sonny's presentation as well as an overview of Philadelphia Police needlestick protocol conducted by the Department's Infection Control Officer, Sgt. George Flood.

This training was recorded live at the Philadelphia Police Dept's 26th District. Both videos were professionally recorded and printed and come in a commercial plastic case. They are available for $10 each (our cost), + $2 shipping.
