 s.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/Detail.aspx?si=15876\n\nHave unused and expire
 d prescription medications? Dispose of them safely at Police Headquarters 
 through the "Take-Back" initiative to prevent pill abuse and theft.\n\nOff
 icers will be collecting unwanted medications at APD Headquarters as part 
 of the national Drug Take Back Day initiated by the Drug Enforcement Admin
 istration. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria Sheriff's O
 ffice\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of 
 Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites for Drug Take Back. \n\n
 Drop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and unwanted prescription 
 drugs and other medications for safe disposal and destruction. These drugs
  can be a source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to pub
 lic health and safety. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety
  and public health issue. Many Americans are not aware that medicines that
  languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse an
 d abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obt
 ained from family and friends\, including from the home medicine cabinet. 
 In addition\, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their 
 unused medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them awa
 y - both potential safety and health hazards. \n\nThis program also suppor
 ts the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place wher
 e people can live healthier and economically productive lives while reduci
 ng their impact on the environment. \n\nThe service is free and anonymous\
 ; no questions asked.\n\nLocation: Police Headquarters\nContact Person: Cr
