Fairfield Police Department in Maine is revolutionizing drug detection with the TruNarc Handheld Narcotics Analyzer, a cutting-edge device that ensures safer and faster identification of narcotics. The device uses a laser to scan substances through their packaging, eliminating the need for direct handling and reducing officers’ exposure to dangerous drugs. With a database of over 400 substances, TruNarc can quickly and reliably identify drugs, including mixtures such as fentanyl-laced substances.
According to Public Information Officer Casey Dugas, the device provides nearly instant results with much less risk of injury or exposure compared to traditional testing methods. Previously, officers had to transfer unknown substances into separate test kits, which involved breaking glass vials—a process that carried the risk of punctures or contamination.
