The abuse and diversion of controlled substance prescription medication is a major public health and safety concern in Florida. The 2011 Florida Medical Examiners Commission Report on Drugs Identified in Deceased Persons, shows that deaths caused by oxycodone plunged by almost 18% in 2011, and overall drug deaths fell by 6.4%. The 2012 Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) Annual Report shows a 58% decrease in the number of doctor shoppers between October 1, 2011 and September 30, 2012. We are seeing positive results. To combat this epidemic, in 2009, the Florida Legislature passed the PDMP into law to increase patient standard of care and to reduce the diversion of prescription drugs, however it prohibited the use of state funds for implementation of the program. Although the 2013 Florida Legislature provided a one-year appropriation of $500,000 to operate the program for fiscal year 2013- 2014, the Florida PDMP Foundation, a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization must secure long-term funding for the program. In April 2011, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Florida's law enforcement community had volunteered to contribute portions of their forfeiture funds to subsidize the PDMP. This was done on a voluntary basis, and we wish to express our gratitude to the following Police Chiefs and Sheriffs who have supported the PDMP by donating a total of $165,500, Seminole County Sheriffs Office City of Lake Mary Police Department City of Port Orange Police Department City of Temple Terrace Police Department City Deland Police Department Santa Rosa County Sheriffs Office City of Fort Myers Police Department City of Sebastian Police Department Pinellas County Sheriffs Office City of Oveido Police Department Monroe County Sheriffs Office Charlotte County Sheriffs Office City of Winter Park Police Department Bay County Sheriffs Office City of St. Petersburg Police Department Sarasota County Sheriffs Office Hernando County Sheriff's Office City of Dade City Police Department/Pasco City of Altamonte Springs Police Department County Sheriffs Office City of Casselberry Police Department �.
