New app will allow real time tracking of Oklahoma drug overdoses

The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control has hired 10 new agents who are being deployed throughout the state to investigate opioid diversions, director John Scully announced Friday.

The agency also is rolling out a new smartphone app called ODMAP that will allow law enforcement agents and first responders to track both fatal and nonfatal drug overdoses in real time, he said.

Attorney General Mike Hunter praised both initiatives.
