Whitestown Police to Participate in National Take-Back Prescription Drugs Day
April 25, 2012 In an effort to prevent pill abuse and theft, the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has scheduled the Second National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The event will take place on Saturday April 28, 2012 from 10am to 2pm at the Whitestown Police Department, 8539 Clark Mills Rd, Whitesboro NY. This is a great opportunity to dispose of expired, unused and unwanted drugs.
According to the Partnership for a Drug Free America, each day, approximately 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including the home medicine cabinet.
Last year, there were approximately 3,000 state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the nation that participated in the event. All told, the American public turned in more than 121 tons of pills on the First National Take-Back day.
If you have any questions regarding this event please contact the Whitestown Police Department at 736-1100. Town Telephone Directory
