HEROIN COORDINATOR
The Talbot County Heroin Coordinator (TCHC) is responsible for entering all drug investigations, drug seizures, drug arrests, heroin and other opioid overdoses, and other drug-related investigative activities into the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA’s) Case Explorer system, which is provided by the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (W/B HIDTA) through an Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) grant.
That database communicates with law enforcement agencies across the country to track drug trafficking organizations and assist law enforcement in identifying and dismantling those organizations.
The TCHC works closely with the Talbot County Health Department and the recovery community to provide assistance to those battling with substance use disorder.
