Narcotics inventory management is essential for tracking controlled substances used by fire and EMS agencies. Effective systems help ensure accountability, prevent diversion, and maintain compliance with DEA regulations. Digital solutions support secure storage, chain-of-custody documentation, automated logging, and audit readiness. Proper narcotics inventory management also reduces errors and streamlines the restocking process. Agencies should establish clear policies, provide practical training, and maintain thorough oversight.
Dispatch, call centers, and 911 systems are critical components of emergency response. These operations manage call intake, resource allocation, and communication between dispatchers and field units. Efficient systems and well-trained staff help ensure accurate information, quick response times, and coordinated incident management. Technology like CAD, AVL, and integrated radio systems enhances performance and situational awareness. Dispatch, call centers & 911 services must follow state and national standards for operations and training. Emergency Communications is another important topic focused on tools and infrastructure for responder connectivity.
