Le Roy PD thanks residents for dropping off unwanted prescription medications

By Howard B. Owens

Press release:

The Le Roy Police Department in conjunction with the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency wish to thank all the citizens that participated in the National Drug Drop Off Program which occurred Saturday 4/27/13 at the Le Roy Police Department and all those who dropped off medications throughout the past six months.

The Le Roy Police Department delivered 186 pounds of excess medications and 31 pounds of needles to the Federal DEA for incineration.

This program keeps these medications and needles out of the hands of our children, out of our landfills and out of our water system.

Again the Le Roy Police Department reminds citizens both in and around the Village of Le Roy that the Le Roy Police Department does accept excess medications at the Police Department any day; please ask to speak with the Officer on Duty. Needles are only accepted on the two specific dates each year set for the drug drop off and future dates will be publicized.

For those citizens who reside inside the Village limits and who are disabled or unable to deliver the medications to the Police Department, we will make arrangements to have an officer drive to your residence and retrieve the medications.
