When law enforcement officers discover a suspected clandestine drug lab producing methamphetamine, they should:

• Leave the lab area and remove other people from the area because of the danger of explosion, fire, or chemical exposure by contact or inhalation.
• Avoid any further contact with the suspected lab.
• Contact the appropriate fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies if strong chemical odors are present.
• Contact the SBI District Office in their region or 1-800-334-3000 (SBI's 24-hour response number).
• If children are removed from a lab site, the county Division of Social Services (DSS) office should be contacted immediately.
