Area of Science:

  • Public Health Law
  • Emergency Medical Services
  • Law Enforcement Policy

Background:

  • Limited knowledge exists on health and healthcare for individuals in medical crises during US law enforcement interactions.
  • Current state and federal laws restrict understanding of these critical public health issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the lack of a statutory right to emergency medical care during law enforcement interactions in the US.
  • To propose legal changes ensuring this right and enabling systematic data collection.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of existing state and federal laws regarding medical care during law enforcement encounters.
  • Proposal of statutory changes to guarantee emergency medical care rights.

Main Results:

  • Currently, no federal law or laws in 49 US states grant a statutory right to emergency medical care during law enforcement interactions.
  • Existing legal limitations prevent systematic data collection on medical emergencies in these situations.

Conclusions:

  • Implementing proposed statutory changes would guarantee a universal right to emergency medical care during law enforcement contact.
  • These changes would facilitate comprehensive data collection on medical emergencies involving law enforcement.
