This dataset contains summary information on opioid drug seizures and arrests made by Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) personnel, stationed statewide, on a quarterly basis. Every effort is made to collect and record all opioid drug seizures and arrests however, the information provided may not represent the totality of all seizures and opioid arrests made by PSP personnel.
Data is currently available from January 1, 2013 through most current data available.
Seizure
Opioids seized as a result of undercover buys, search warrants, traffic stops and other investigative encounters.
An incident is a Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) recorded violation of the Controlled Substance Act and an entry into the PSP Statistical Narcotics System.
By regulation, entry is made by the PSP as stated in PSP Administrative Regulation 9-6:
When violations of The Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act are reported, the required statistical information concerning the incident shall be entered into the Statistical Narcotic Reporting System (SNRS).
Incidents may include undercover buys, search warrants, traffic stops and other investigative encounters
So, an “incident” is not based on any arrest, but on a reported violation, though it often can include arrests.
The incidents that are selected and forwarded to the portal are those that include a record of one or more seizures of the opioid drugs. In turn, a subset of those selected incidents also contains a record of one or more arrests.
This is PSP data only, it would not include any Federal case/incident data.

This interactive map depicts the amount of opioids, in kilograms, seized by the Pennsylvania State Police quarterly, by county. Use the drop-down menus to select quarter and year to see the amount of opioids seized by the Pennsylvania State Police in each county. The drug drop-down menu will allow you to view a separate map for each opioid drug type. Care should be taken regarding inferences made about the location in which opioids are seized as drugs can be transient and therefore seized in areas other than their origination or destination. The opioid seizures reflected on this map may not include all active investigations by the Pennsylvania State Police.

This indicator includes the number of days hospitalized for opioid use and the estimated lost wages due to hospitalization (PHC4 Data). This value is the product of the number of days hospitalized and the average weekly wages for county of residence—as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics—divided by seven.
PHC4’s database contains statewide hospital discharge data submitted to PHC4 by Pennsylvania hospitals. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information obtained from the Uniform Claims and Billing Form (UB-82/92/04) data elements. Computer collection edits and validation edits provide opportunity to correct specific errors that may have occurred prior to, during or after submission of data. The ultimate responsibility for data accuracy lies with individual providers.
Analyses were completed by the University of Pittsburgh using data from the PA Health Care Cost Containment Council and in cooperation with PA DOH.

OverdoseFreePA
OverdoseFreePA is made possible by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, and is directed and managed by the Pennsylvania Overdose Reduction Technical Assistance Center (TAC), University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy. The website is a result of collaboration with county and state partners across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Our partnerships include:

Pennsylvania District Attorneys Association

Pennsylvania Pharmacist Association
Pennsylvania Psychiatric Society
The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Dental Association
Drug Enforcement Administration 360 Strategy
There are a growing number of Pennsylvania counties involved in ramping up overdose prevention, treatment, and recovery activities to address the opioid overdose epidemic. The counties involved are collaborating to develop resources that can be used by all Pennsylvanians to increase community awareness and knowledge of overdose and overdose prevention strategies as well as to support initiatives aimed at decreasing drug overdoses and deaths within the participating counties. As a centralized resource and technical assistance hub, OverdoseFreePA is a central repository for these efforts to facilitate increased treatment and prevention efforts in these communities.

Pennsylvania Opioid Overdose Reduction Technical Assistance Center (TAC)
Pennsylvania, and the nation at large, is in the midst of opioid overdose epidemic. The TAC’s vision is to lead Pennsylvania communities to zero overdoses.The TAC hopes to achieve this vision by providing concierge technical assistance in the form of data driven recommendations and customized strategic planning to counties working to eliminate overdoses. The TAC strives to lead the field in identifying and sharing strategies to eliminate overdose through the central repository of OverdoseFreePA.

Based out of the Program Evaluation and Research Unit (PERU) at the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Pharmacy, the TAC assists counties and communities in assessing needs, building capacity to address the needs, developing and implementing data driven plans with high quality outcomes, and sustaining initiatives to eliminate overdoses, both fatal and non-fatal, throughout Pennsylvania.

The Naloxone for First Responders dataset is based on data obtained from individual Centralize Coordinating Entities (CCEs) who have provided data to PCCD on a quarterly basis. CCE's provide naloxone to eligible first responders in their local community.

The data includes the number of kits of naloxone that were provided by CCEs to first responders in each county, the types of first responders who received those kits, the number of doses used by first responders in that county, and the number of overdose reversals in that county.
