Do you, or members of your organization, need help understanding DEA regulations, recordkeeping requirements, or the extensive documentation that must be maintained? 

Do you need help implementing security elements that meet the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations under the Controlled Substances Act? 

Brinks DEA Consulting Can Provide DEA Compliance Training to Your Team. 

Our training programs are designed to remove confusion, reduce risk, and give your staff the confidence to manage controlled substances in full compliance with federal regulations. We will prepare you for inspections conducted by DEA Diversion Investigators by explaining what to expect, which records to have ready, what a security review and alarm test look like, and how to get through a controlled substances audit.
