Authorities are investigating a reported security breach in an inventory space where the Cosumnes Community Services District Fire Department stores their medicinal narcotics.
Steve Foster, fire chief for the Cosumnes CSD, said that the case is an ongoing criminal investigation and is also a personnel matter within the CSD.
“As soon as we discovered the breach, we immediately reported it to the authorities,” he said Wednesday night.
Foster could not comment on the details of the case details since it is still under investigation, but did say that CSD staff is actively working with officials from the Elk Grove police, the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Sacramento County health officials on the case.
Foster said that, to his knowledge, such an incident has not occurred before within the CSD.
Foster noted that since the incident, the fire department has changed the way they store their medicinal narcotics inventory under the supervision of medical authorities.
CSD staff discovered the breach several weeks ago, Foster said, noting than authorities had made no arrests as of press time.
