Culver City police saved a woman who was not breathing over the weekend by administering opioid overdose treatment Narcan.
According to the Culver City Police Department (CCPD), over the weekend officers responded to TJ Maxx, regarding a female that was unconscious and not breathing. A CCPD Officer arrived on scene and observed a good Samaritan performing CPR on the subject.
“Utilizing his training and experience, the Officer believed, there was a strong likelihood that the subject possibly overdosed.
