How do I report a loss/theft of controlled substances?

The Department of the Kentucky State Police as required by KRS 315.335; and 3. The board by providing a copy to the board of each report submitted.”

KRS 315.335 requires reporting theft/loss to BOP, local law enforcement, and KSP.

KRS 218A.200(6) a copy of the detailed list of controlled substances lost, destroyed, or stolen shall be forwarded to Cabinet for Health and Family Services as soon as practical.
