Controlled Substance Theft or Significant Loss
procedures must be implemented *within one business day of the discovery *of the theft or loss. A. Notify DEA and Local Police The theft of controlled substances from a registrant is a criminal act and a source of diversion that requires notification to DEA. A pharmacy must notify *in writing* the local DEA Diversion Field Office (Appendix K) within one business day of discovery of a theft or significant loss of a controlled substance. Although *not specifically required by federal law* or regulations, the registrant should also notify *local law enforcement and state regulatory agencies.* If there is a question as to whether a theft has occurred or a loss is significant, a registrant should err on the side of caution and report it to DEA and local law enforcement authorities. *DEA must be notified directly.*This requirement is not satisfied by reporting the theft or significant loss in any other manner. For example, a corporation which owns or operates multiple registered sites and wishes to channel all notifications through corporate management or any other internal department responsible for security must still provide notice directly to their local DEA Diversion Field Office in writing within one business day upon discovery and keep a copy of that notice for its records
A corresponding liability
rests upon the pharmacist, including a pharmacist employed by a central fill pharmacy, who fills a prescription not prepared in the form prescribed by DEA regulations.
