Leveraging UV for Safer Fentanyl Seizures and Equipment Sterilization in Law Enforcement

In addition to PPE, law enforcement officers can also use UV-C light to help improve safety protocols. Ultraviolet, or ‘UV-C’ light has a germicidal effect, meaning it can kill bacteria and viruses with up to 99.9998% efficacy. It is also effective at killing fentanyl. This makes it a valuable tool for decontaminating surfaces that may be contaminated with fentanyl.
