The Ormond Beach Police Department will be participating in the 2023 DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative, sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration, on Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lobby of the Ormond Beach Police Department.

This initiative will provide an opportunity for the public to voluntarily surrender expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceutically controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement officers for proper destruction.

“I am proud to say that we are working with our partners at the DEA on this initiative," Ormond Beach Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said. "This program has kept unwanted prescription drugs from damaging our environment through improper disposal methods and hopefully has kept some dangerous drugs out of the hands of the wrong people."
