Ridgefield Police participate in DEA Drug Takeback Day

The Ridgefield Police Department is participating in the DEA's Drug Take Back Day on Saturday.  Prescription drugs that languish in medicine cabinets create a public health and safety concern because they are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse.  Potentially dangerous, unused and unwanted prescriptions and over-the-counter medications will be collected at the Ridgefield Police Department from 10am to 2pm. The Drive-Thru will be set up so people will not have to exit their vehicles. This service is free and completely anonymous. All medications that are collected as part of this initiative are taken to an incineration facility by Officers of the for destruction. Ridgefield Police say a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, to include the family medicine cabinet.  There is a drug take-back box located in the front lobby of Police Headquarters available 24 hours a day/365 days of the year and is also completely anonymous.
