About the Program
In an ongoing effort to combat the abuse and diversion of prescription drugs, Purdue Pharma L.P. has conceived, developed and funded an information clearinghouse for data related to pharmacy robberies, burglaries and theft that involve the loss of controlled substances. RxPATROL® (Pattern Analysis Tracking Robberies and Other Losses) is an initiative designed to collect, collate, analyze and disseminate pharmacy theft intelligence to law enforcement throughout the nation.
In support of RxPATROL®, Purdue Pharma L.P. has secured the services of a senior law enforcement executive who will work independently to conduct intelligence analysis utilizing a leading incident analysis software platform capable of analyzing data, identifying trends and incorporating streaming video and CCTV photos.
The theft related data will be provided directly to RxPATROL® from the pharmacy community on all incidents of pharmacy theft involving controlled substances. RxPATROL® will in turn analyze the information and provide it to the respective law enforcement agencies for action as they deem appropriate.
RxPATROL® is designed to gather and disseminate critical information to help protect pharmacists, guard against potential robberies and assist law enforcement in their efforts to successfully apprehend and prosecute those involved in controlled substance pharmacy crime.
