Jason Piotrowski

Current Fellow

Jason Piotrowski is the Chief of the National HIDTA Performance Management Process (PMP) at the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), where Jason leads regional and national efforts to strengthen data-driven strategies that reduce overdoses and drug-related harms. Jason oversees performance tracking, drug trend analysis, and interagency coordination, supporting collaborative, public health–aligned responses to the overdose crisis.


Jason retired as a Captain from the New Jersey State Police in 2026 after more than two decades in intelligence and drug-related public safety roles. Jason helped develop and later led the New Jersey Drug Monitoring Initiative, overseeing statewide drug data collection, analysis, and community-focused outreach designed to inform evidence-based harm reduction, treatment access, and prevention strategies.


As a Bloomberg Fellow in the Addiction & Overdose focus area, Jason applies public health training to enhance HIDTA’s overdose mitigation programs, advance cross-sector partnerships, and expand the use of timely, actionable data to support people and communities most affected by substance use.
