The Maryland Opioid Operational Command Center (OOCC) was established by Executive Order as part of the Hogan Administration’s 2017 Heroin and Opioid Prevention, Treatment, and Enforcement Initiative. The Center provides an overarching picture of  Maryland’s Heroin and Opioid crisis to help build upon ongoing community-based approaches  to address the Maryland opioid crisis by increasing collaboration between state and local public  health, human services, education, and public safety entities.
