FDA Protects Patient Safety Through Multi-Agency Collaboration The FDA Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI), in partnership with the FDA National Forensic Chemistry Center, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), successfully prosecuted a former dental assistant for tampering with patients' fentanyl medication. "People depend on their healthcare providers to provide safe and effective medication when needed for pain relief," said Acting Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Lamb, FDA OCI. "The FDA will continue to hold accountable anyone who violates this trust by tampering with patients' medication and compromising care." The FDA remains committed to working with federal law enforcement partners to investigate and prosecute those who endanger public health by compromising the safety of the drug supply chain.
