Prescription Drug Take-back April 26th

April 22, 2014 By Chief Deputy Leave a Comment

6B-Web-Button-400x150pxThe Prescription Drug Take-back will be held at the Richland Center Police Department on Saturday, April 26th between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

On April 26th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Richland Center Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its eighth opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to the Richland Center Police Department at 470 South Main Street. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last October, Americans turned in over 647,000 pounds of prescription drugs at over 5,600 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners.

The public may dispose of solid, non-liquid medications by removing the medication from its container and disposing of it directly into the disposal box at the police department. Controlled, non-controlled and over-the-counter medications will be accepted. Blister packages are acceptable without the medications being removed. Liquids will be accepted but must be in their original packaging. Please note that inhalers and needles/sharps will not be accepted.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

An Age Old Problem that Keeps Getting Worse

January 10, 2014 By Chief Deputy Leave a Comment

Like many of you, when I begin my day at work I have a routine that gets me organized and jump starts my day. If nothing is pressing and no emergencies in the jail or in the county, I grab a cup of coffee and check my overnight telephone messages. A couple of weeks ago when I checked my messages I noted that of the 8 callers leaving messages, 6 were reporting some type of scam activity that was going on in our community. With the snow falling and the temperature hovering around 10 degrees Fahrenheit I was thinking to myself that years ago the scam calls didn’t begin until early Spring and usually ended just after the county fair. Not any more I thought. With all the direct postal mailings, the creation of the internet and everyone walking around with their own personal telephone in their pocket scamming for money is now a year-long endeavor.

Being Prepared

December 2, 2013 By Chief Deputy Leave a Comment

I don’t know about you, but I like to make lists, lots of lists. My lists may remind me what has to be done or what I need to pick up or who was going to do what. I think my lists are my way of making sure I don’t forget something.

It’s a security blanket for me. Whether it’s important or something minor- I just don’t like to forget or not be prepared. I feel better when I have a list.

Yet, despite all my lists, I have had to return and make that double-run to the grocery store for the one item that I needed and forgot to purchase when I was just there!

As I watched the snow fall this last Monday, I didn’t need a reminder list that another winter driving season had started. As per usual the first significant snow of the season brought out the tow trucks to lend a hand to those who slid off the slippery roads. [Read more…]
