The Unalaska Department of Public Safety is conducting an internal investigation after learning that drugs had gone missing from one of the city’s ambulances.

The discovery was made in October. According to Director Jamie Sunderland, multiple vials of controlled medications, including morphine, are believed to have been taken from a locked safe. The ambulance and the medication safe are kept at the fire hall, and only licensed responders have regular access to them.

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration is also looking into the matter. Sunderland adds that the assistance is welcome given the type of drugs taken, the licenses involved, and the internal component. The DEA is also conducting a second, unrelated drug investigation in Unalaska concurrently.
