Certified a prosecutor's Tru Narc device as harm reduction

The FY2025 report describes the Tru Narc Device as a tool the Sussex County Prosecutor's Office Narcotics Division will use to identify new drug threats in the community more quickly, so that it can tell local agencies and the community when more deadly threats are found (pp22 to 24). It files the program under Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention, with the Schedule B strategy Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms. At filing it reported that the device had not been used, that three officers were trained, and that the County would ask quarterly whom they contacted about drug deaths. The FY2026 report certifies the full 42,619.00 as spent between 07/01/2025 and 06/30/2026 and gives one indicator, awareness of current and new threats in the drug supply, with no count of samples, alerts or contacts (pp20 to 21). The record shows a purchase for the Prosecutor's Office. Purchase order 109659, encumbered 05/22/2025 on account 02-213-39-901-23304, which the County titles Prosecutor's Office Opioid Detection System, was paid to Safeware, Inc. by check 126956 on 07/23/2025, the certified figure to the cent. The records in hand show no drug alert issued, sample tested or notice sent to a provider or to the public. Exhibit E's harm reduction list names fentanyl checking within syringe service programs and fentanyl screening in clinical toxicology. It does not name a drug identification device held by a prosecutor's narcotics unit, and no drug alert program using this device is documented.
