CVS, Walgreens to Implement Time Delay Pharmacy Safes in All Locations
CVS is serious about preventing pharmacy robberies. They have already installed time delay pharmacy safes in their locations in 45 states. And they project to have these enhanced pharmacy safes inall their locations by the end of 2023. The safes—which are often targeted for the narcotics and opioids contained inside—are equipped with time delays programmed into them, preventing a safe from being immediately opened.
And it is working. According to CVS, the already installed pharmacy safes have resulted in a 50 percent decrease in robberies. And they're not alone in this fight— Walgreens plans to implement time delay safes in nearly all its locations. Time delay safes and prominently displayed signage indicating that these safes are being used are helping protect pharmacists, employees, and customers from dangerous robberies. Each safe has a time delay function that cannot be overridden. When an order is put in for opioids or other controlled substances, there is a time delay between the pharmacy worker's request and the opening of the safe. The objective is to dissuade potential robbers—they won't want to stick around any longer and risk getting caught.
