WOONSOCKET, R.I., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of an ongoing commitment to support law enforcement and help build safer communities, CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) today announced the installation of time delay safe technology in all 213 CVS Pharmacy locations, including those in Target stores, across three states in the southern U.S. The states and corresponding number of pharmacy locations include Louisiana (133), Mississippi (57) and Arkansas (23).
The safes are anticipated to help prevent pharmacy robberies and the potential for associated diversion of controlled substance medications — including opioid medications such as oxycodone and hydrocodone — by electronically delaying the time it takes for pharmacy employees to open the safe. In addition, the safes are anticipated to benefit the safety and well-being of CVS Pharmacy customers and employees.
