SENTRY: An Early Warning & Response System

U.S. Department of Justice, National Drug Intelligence Center

What is SENTRY?

SENTRY is an Internet-based collection and dissemination system designed to help identify new, primarily synthetic drug-related behaviors at an early stage, evaluate their likely importance, track their development, and share these data with authorized users in a real-time environment.

SENTRY is operated by NDIC in coordination with the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and supports the National Synthetic Drugs Action Plan.

Through the SENTRY website, authorized users provide information on a new or unusual synthetic drug-related activity via an electronic submission form. They also receive e-mail notices when watches and warnings are posted, view previously reported submissions from all authorized users through the geographic information system (GIS) capabilities, link to partner agencies, and search/receive NDIC products.
