Officers Collect Expired Drugs in Awareness Effort

They accepted expired and unused pills, including controlled dangerous substances, no questions asked, and disposed of the medications in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.

Operation Take Back aims to both help residents dispose of unwanted prescription drugs and raise awareness of juvenile-prescription-drug-abuse-prevention efforts, according to the prosecutor's office.
