In 1989, then Governor William Donald Schaefer asked the Mayor of Ocean City, Roland Powell, to set up a committee to fight the abuse of alcohol and other drugs in our community.  Thus, was born the Ocean City Drug Alcohol Abuse Prevention Committee Inc that works in a partnership with state and local government agencies, as well as many businesses and concerned citizens. Currently the committee is comprised of members from the Town of Ocean City including elected officials and town employees from the Town of Ocean City Police Department and Ocean City Recreation & Parks Department, Worcester County Health Department and Department of Juvenile Services personnel, local school administrators, and teachers, volunteers from community service organizations, and many caring and concerned citizens
