Setting up a compliant narcotic tracking system can sound like a major infrastructure project, but for EMS agencies using NarcLock, it can be done in less than 24 hours. If you’re still using paper logs or outdated key boxes, making the switch is faster, easier, and more affordable than you think.
Whether you’re facing a DEA audit, expanding your fleet, or trying to eliminate diversion risk, NarcLock gives you full control and accountability without complicated installs or custom hardware.
Why Fast Deployment Matters for EMS
In EMS, delays can cost more than just time. Every day your narcotic tracking system is non-compliant is a day you risk:
-
DEA fines or audit flags
-
Loss of public trust
-
Breaks in your chain of custody
-
Liability for missing or misused medication
Many EMS organizations avoid upgrading because they think it will require new narcotic safes, expensive infrastructure, or IT resources they don’t have. NarcLock solves that.
What Makes NarcLock Different
NarcLock is built specifically for EMS and healthcare field environments. It works without wiring, servers, or constant Wi-Fi. In fact, you can retrofit your existing narcotic boxes with NarcLock cylinders and have full access control, digital logging, and real-time reporting by the end of the day.
NarcLock uses the same wireless locking technology found in CyberLock systems deployed in hospitals, transit agencies, and high-security infrastructure nationwide.
How NarcLock Works
Here’s what the setup looks like:
-
Step 1: Identify your narcotic safes or boxes
-
Step 2: Install a NarcLock cylinder, no wiring or power required
-
Step 3: Assign smart keys with individual user permissions and schedules.
-
Step 4: Upload activity logs from keys to cloud-based software
-
Step 5: Generate DEA-compliant reports for audits and internal reviews
The NarcLock team does a great job of being available for remote support during the implementation phase. You’re never in limbo.
All of this can be done without removing the safes, hiring electricians, or re-training your whole staff.
