Now I am announcing today that, over the next 45 days, DEA will surge Special Agents, Diversion Investigators, and Intelligence Research Specialists to focus on pharmacies and prescribers who are dispensing unusual or disproportionate amounts of drugs.
DEA collects some 80 million transactions reports every year from manufacturers and distributors of prescription drugs. These reports contain information like distribution figures and inventory. DEA will aggregate these numbers to find patterns, trends, statistical outliers -- and put them into investigative packages.
That will help us find the abusers, make more arrests, secure more convictions, and ultimately help us reduce the number of illegal prescription drugs available for Americans that lead to addiction or to overdose deaths from these drugs.
