A Message from the Administrator
The safeguarding of controlled substances is a problem confronting
all manufacturers, distributors, pharmacies, and other drug handlers.
Federal law limits the handling of these substances and by regulation
requires that they be properly safeguarded at all times. The drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) is responsible for ensuring that
effective security is maintained. The drug industry is responsible for
establishing and maintaining effective controls and procedures to
prevent diversion.
This manual outlines the steps needed to establish a competent
security system which deters diversion and reduces accessibility for
potential abusers. Further guidance may be obtained from one of DEA's
Field Divisions (listed at the end of this manual) or from the Office
of Diversion Control located at our Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Administrator of Drug Enforcement
