The drug overdose epidemic in the United States is a clear and present public health, public safety, and national security threat. The Seagoville Police Department participates bi-annually with the US Drug Enforcement Agency in The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
The Prescription Drug Take Back reflects law enforcements commitment to Americans’ safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting.
This is a commitment to making our communities safer and healthier, and we can do this by reducing overdoses and overdose deaths. While the community does its part to turn in unneeded medications and remove them from potential harm.
