Drug take-back day scheduled for Saturday

By Howard B. Owens

Local law enforcement agencies will host another drug take-back day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday in Batavia, Le Roy and Pembroke.

Drug take-back days are times when residents and turn in no-longer-needed prescription drugs so they can be disposed of safely.

Drugs can be disposed of with no questions asked.

The locations are at the Batavia Police Headquarters in the back parking lot, at the Le Roy Police HQ at the Village Hall, and at the Town Highway garages at Route 77 and Route 5 in Pembroke.

For people unable to make it to the designated locations during those times, both Batavia PD and Le Roy PD will accept discarded prescription drugs during normal business hours. The State Police Batavia Barracks, on West Saile Drive, also has a disposal bin in its foyer for drop off at any time.

I wonder what the cops do with them then? Grind them up & sell/give them to their buddies or use them to convict a known drug dealer after they drop it in his pocket during routine questioning.. I am being faceious & trying to add some humour to this "DDOD" drug drop off day story. Everyone knows that the cops are righteous people & would NEVER break the laws they are sworn to uphold during the course of their terms as Police Ocifers, now would they!! :)
