MCP has joined the fight to combat the alarming rise in opioid-related drug overdoses, including those associated with heroin. 
The Department of General Services Maryland Capitol Police (MCP) has joined the fight to combat the alarming rise in opioid-related drug overdoses, including those associated with heroin. In conjunction with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH), the Maryland Capitol Police has developed an overdose response program that enables law enforcement personnel, as first responders, to take lifesaving actions when encountering individuals suffering from apparent drug overdoses. With DHMH’s approval, members of the Capitol Police Training Unit were certified to train other MCP personnel in the administration of Naloxone, a prescription medication that blocks or reverses the effects of opioid overdose. The drug can reverse the effects in a matter of seconds and stabilize the victim until they can receive additional medical attention.
