The Cape Coral Police Department participated in the DEA’s 20th Prescription Drug Take Back Event.

At the completion of the event, our citizens dropped off 426.50 lbs of prescription medications.

We collected enough medications to fill 8 large boxes and 1 small box. These medications will be sent to a facility for destruction.

This event not only saved lives, but helped keep our waterways safe from the effects of medications that are improperly disposed of.
