STATE ADDS SOFTWARE TO METH SEARCH

The state hopes to cut down on methamphetamine production by lauching
a new website that tracks frequent purchasers of products with
pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient in meth.

The Indiana State Police recently launched the Indiana Methamphetamine
Investigation System.

Pharmacies can use the online database (http://www.in.gov/ meth or
http://meth.in.gov) by attending a training session.

The website has general information about meth and the ability for the
public to submit tip information about suspected meth activity.

This system was provided to Indiana by the Tennessee Meth Task Force.
Since Tennessee began using the system in 2004, more than 500,000
purchases have been identified by documented methamphetamine offenders
or by individuals who exceeded the legal purchase amount of
pseudoephedrine.
