Public Safety Partners with State of Maryland and MIEMSS to Expand Naloxone Access Through AED Co‑Location Program:
Public Safety is proud to partner with the State of Maryland and the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) to support a statewide initiative to co‑locate naloxone with Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in accordance with Senate Bill 1099 (SB 1099).
Through this program, two doses of naloxone will be placed alongside designated public‑access AEDs, enhancing the ability of bystanders and first responders to quickly intervene in opioid‑related emergencies while remaining compliant with Maryland law. Naloxone kits will be available across Mount St. Mary’s University’s Main Campus, East Campus and athletics facilities, and the Frederick Campus.
This initiative will integrate with the state AED registry, with MIEMSS developing an in‑house system that includes both AED and naloxone locations. The MIEMSS‑managed registry will improve real‑time access for 9‑1‑1 centers, support faster emergency response, and improve outcomes during cardiac arrest and opioid overdose incidents.
Public Safety remains committed to advancing campus and community safety through proactive partnerships and lifesaving preparedness. For more information, watch this video or contact the Department of Public Safety.
