Dispose of them safely at the "Drug Take-Bac k" to prevent pill abuse and theft. \n\nOfficers from the Alexandria Polic e Department will be collecting unwanted medications at Police Headquarter s as part of Drug Take Back Day. The Alexandria Police Department and the Alexandria Sheriff's Office\, with cooperation from the Substance Abuse Pr evention Coalition of Alexandria\, are staffing multiple drop off sites fo r Drug Take Back.\n\nDrop off potentially dangerous expired\, unused and u nwanted prescription drugs and other medications for safe disposal and des truction. These drugs can be a source of supply for illegal use and an una cceptable risk to public health and safety. \n\nThis initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Many Americans are not awar e that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion\, misuse and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused presc ription drugs are obtained from family and friends\, including from the ho me medicine cabinet. In addition\, many Americans do not know how to prope rly dispose of their unused medicine\, often flushing them down the toilet or throwing them away - both potential safety and health hazards. \n\nThi s program also supports the goals of the Eco-City Alexandria initiative to promote a place where people can live healthier and economically producti ve lives while reducing their impact on the environment. \n\nThe service i s free and anonymous\; no questions asked.\n\nLocation: Police Headquarter s\nContact Person: PIO Crystal Nosal\nContact Phone: 703.746.6600\nAudien ce: Anyone may attend\nTags: APDCalendar\, Criminal Justice\, Eco-City\, H ealth\, Public Safety\, West End\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=17215 DTEND:20180106T190000Z DTSTAMP:20171214T153720Z DTSTART:20180106T150000Z GEO:38.806875;-77.092330 LOCATION:Police Headquarters SEQUENCE:4 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Drug Take Back at APD HQ TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:f6038066-e221-4f58-ac3e-892c31cafa95 X-COA-DTSTAMP:20171214T153720Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
