Local law enforcement agencies looking to curtail prescription drug abuse

Merced Sun-Star
Some of the most commonly abused drugs also happen to be the most accessible, and law enforcement is trying to curb that trend. National Drug Take Back Day is coming up at the end of the month. The program allows residents to take unused or unwanted prescription drugs to designated drop-off sites to safely dispose of them. The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 27 at the Merced County Sheriff's Department, UC Merced Police Department and for the second time at the Livingston Police Department.
