2022-01 Custody Division Narcan Tracking System

                                                                                                                                                            Bulletin #2022-01

CUSTODY DIVISION NARCAN TRACKING SYSTEM (CDNATS)

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this informational bulletin is to familiarize custody personnel with the Division wide introduction of the online Custody Division NARCAN Tracking System (CDNATS), to document NARCAN deployments that occur within custody facilities. 

PROCEDURES

Beginning January 2, 2022, post-incident reporting for all deployment and administrations of Naloxone Nasal Spray (NARCAN) will be completed electronically. Procedures concerning post-incident reporting of NARCAN in custody facilities are delineated in Custody Division Manual (CDM) section 5-03/060.00, “Nasal Spray Administration for Suspected Overdoses.” With the implementation of CDNATS, Custody personnel will cease to utilize the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Custody NARCAN (Naloxone) Use Report (SH-J-630) paper form.

When NARCAN is deployed and administered, custody personnel are responsible for completing the Custody NARCAN Use Report electronic form via CDNATS, which can be accessed through the Los Angeles County intranet website. The form can be accessed under the “Web Applications” tab or through the following address: [REDACTED TEXT]

After personnel complete the form, it will be assigned to and reviewed by the respective floor sergeant. The sergeant will then electronically submit the form to the on-duty watch commander for final approval. During the review and approval process, an email will be generated to notify the reviewer (sergeant) and approver (watch commander) they have a pending report for review. 

Differing from the outgoing SH-J-630 paper form, the electronic form now includes fields to document administration of NARCAN by custody personnel, Correctional Health Services (CHS) personnel, and inmate on inmate administration. 

In order to maintain accurate tracking, all reporting shall be completed by the end of each shift.  

Any questions concerning this bulletin can be directed to the ADA Compliance Team, at [REDACTED TEXT].
