DNP Order
Do Not Prosecute Order/ Advanced Directive/ Living Will An Advance Request to Limit the Scope of Failed Drug War Policy 2 The Do Not Prosecute Directive (DNP) The DNP / Last Will and Testament was developed by the Alliance of American Drug User Unions. The DNP at this time holds no legal value, but this should not not diminish, in any way, our conviction that no one be prosecuted in the event of our unintentional overdose death. The DNP Directive is an advanced directive to be used for instructing family members, instructing law enforcement, district attorneys, judges, and other criminal justice system personnel to forgo prosecution attempts to all persons in the event of our unintentional overdose due to the ingestion of intoxicating substances. Charges to be withheld include those imposed under drug-induced homicide, felony-murder, depraved heart, involuntary or voluntary manslaughter laws and any other malicious prosecution.
Applicability This form is to be used by organizations, drug user unions, individuals, and all allies and activists fighting against DRUG-INDUCED HOMICIDE LAWS designed for creating dialogue amongst people who use drugs, their loved ones and all allies, advocates, and activists. Other uses may include criminal justice settings . Courts are encouraged to honor this form in any situation where one has lost their life due to drug overdose. While we understand this order is purely symbolic it is a gesture to express our true intent and should be honored as such.
Instructions The Do Not Prosecute (DNP) Directive should be signed by any individual who wants to ensure that NO PERSON be charged or held responsible in the event of their unintentional overdose death. We suggest that all people have conversations with their loved ones about this DNP. There is no substitution for honest family dialogue. Share this information and have conversations about this DNP order. The copy of the form should be retained by the person who signed the document. A Second copy can be sent to Urban Survivors Union to be retained. Prosecution attempts may be initiated until the form is presented and the identity of the deceased is confirmed. When you send Urban Survivors Union a copy of the form we suggest you make a donation to receive a DNP bracelet or medallion inscribed with the words “DO NOT PROSECUTE”. The Urban Survivors Union (1-336-669-5543; 1114 Grove St. Greensboro, NC 27403) is a supplier of the finest aforementioned bracelets and medallions, which will be issued upon receipt of a properly completed Do Not Prosecute (DNP) Form (together with an enrollment form and the appropriate fee). Although optional, use of a wrist or neck medallion facilitates prompt identification of a person who is a willing participant in the ingestion of potentially deadly substances, avoids the problem of lost or misplaced forms, and is strongly encouraged.

I understand DNP means that if I die as a result of a drug overdose, I request that NO ONE be charged, prosecuted, or held criminally responsible for my death.

We are, more often than not, one and the same.
