Detecting and identifying drugs entering correctional facilities is challenging. Drugs such as K2/spice and synthetic cathinones can be sprayed onto paper and inconspicuously concealed within a piece of mail, or drugs can be simply tossed over barriers and into facilities.
During this webinar, you will learn:
- Challenges associated with the increased presence of drugs in correctional facilities.
- The drug landscape in corrections.
- How to protect officers and inmates from potential exposures.
- Case studies from corrections facilities.
