From Shoreline Police
The Shoreline Police Department Special Enforcement Unit once again participated in the National Pharmaceutical Drug Take Back Day sponsored by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration. Six months ago when we participated in this program, we collected 98 pounds of unwanted prescription drugs. This year the citizens of Shoreline turned in over 216 pounds of prescription drugs for disposal.
To get an idea of what this looked like, the SET Unit had 31 paper grocery bags full of prescription drugs. DEA did advise that they will be conducting this program twice a year since they have had such great success. The next drug take back day is planned for September 2011.
