La Boit Inc. built a 33' Mobile Drug Endangered Children (DEC) Command Unit for the Jackson Tennessee Police Department. The unit has been mobilized for DEC incidents, hurricane relief, training and for numerous efforts across the state. The unit was on display at the 3rd Annual Drug Endangered Children conference in Nashville Tennessee. For those of you who did not have the opportunity for a tour, take a look at the photo album.

NIOSH scientists recently partnered with SKC Inc., a prominent manufacturer of sampling technologies, to commercialize two low-cost, NIOSH-designed field methods to help first responders, public health officials, and remediation workers quickly detect the presence of methamphetamine on various environmental surfaces. Now, a single sampling technique can be used to detect trace levels of the illicit drug on surfaces, or used to evaluate decontamination efforts or clearance.
