Statement
of Need
With
a renewed national spotlight on prescription drug abuse, especially
among teenagers, it is important to note as well the often over-looked
issue of crimes against pharmacies. Since 2003, nearly 1,000 crimes a

burglary, and fraud and law enforcement experts anticipate this trend
of increased pharmacy crime will continue to grow in the future.
This activity will help pharmacists access tools and information on what to do before, during, and after a crime as well as how to stop drug diversion and protect both the pharmacy and their patients.
