Frequently Asked Questions About Pharmacy Security
Why do pharmacies need security systems?
Pharmacies store controlled substances that attract both robbery and internal diversion, under strict DEA requirements. A layered system of access control, cameras, and hold-up alarms deters theft, protects staff, and documents access for compliance.
How do security systems support DEA requirements?
Access control with audit-linked logs restricts and records entry to dispensing and controlled-substance storage, and cameras document every interaction. DEA audits increasingly focus on the procedures and technology used to monitor and log access, not just the hardware.
How do you prevent drug diversion?
Internal diversion is the largest source of pharmacy loss, and access control for the dispensing and storage areas is the most important control. Access logs and cameras over storage create accountability and a clear record of who entered and when.
How do hold-up alarms protect pharmacy staff?
Discreet panic buttons let staff silently signal for help during a robbery, which dispatches police without alerting the offender. Pharmacy robberies for opioids have been rising, which makes fast, quiet response important.
Where should cameras be placed in a pharmacy?
Cover the dispensing counter, the safe and controlled storage, entrances and exits, and any drive-through window, with clear views of every medication interaction. Footage should be retained to support audits and investigations.
How should controlled substances be stored?
DEA rules require Schedule II drugs to be kept in a securely locked, substantially constructed cabinet or safe, and access should be limited and logged. Guardian Alarm integrates alarms and access control with your storage to support those requirements.
Can Guardian Alarm monitor my pharmacy 24/7?
Yes. Our UL-listed monitoring center is staffed 24/7/365, and trained agents dispatch police the moment a hold-up or intrusion alarm is verified.
Can you secure multiple pharmacy locations?
Yes. Guardian Alarm manages a single pharmacy or several from one cloud platform, with one point of contact, consolidated reporting, and local service teams at each site.
Will installation disrupt my pharmacy?
No. Installations are scheduled around your hours, so the pharmacy stays open throughout the work.
How do I get a security assessment for my pharmacy?
Guardian Alarm offers a free on-site assessment covering your dispensing area, controlled storage, and access points. A specialist then designs a plan sized to your pharmacy and compliance requirements.
