Dallas officials are considering a national program that maps where overdoses happen in real-time so agencies know where to deploy resources and can sound the...
District Attorney John Creuzot advocated for the program at the city’s public safety committee meeting.
Dallas officials haven’t yet committed to the federally funded program. Committee chairman Adam McGough said it has support, but officials are waiting to hear from health and human services. It was unclear what input city officials are seeking. Creuzot said Dallas County is one of the few counties nationally that have “very little participation” in the program from municipalities.
Launched in 2017 by the Washington/Baltimore branch of the federal High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program, the software helps agencies identify overdose spikes or clusters to warn hospitals and help first responders know where to deploy resources.
