Fishers Police Chief George Kehl would like to remind residents of the drug collection unit located inside the Fishers Police Department. In 2011 the police department purchased a MedReturn Drug Collection Unit. The drug collection container is a safe, effective and sustained way to collect unwanted or expired household prescription, over-the-counter and other unused medicines.
The drug collection unit is a secure steel container permanently installed inside the front doors of the police department. The unit is monitored by police patrols and video surveillance. Citizens can access the drug collection unit 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
“We recognize the need to protect our children and our water supply”, said Chief George Kehl. “In the past the police department has partnered with the Fishers Waste Water Utility during Water Awareness Month, but wanted to provide a consistent program that would give residents a way to properly dispose of unwanted medicine”, Chief Kehl added.
The contents in the drug collection unit are monitored by police officers. The contents are stored in the locked collection unit or the Fishers Police Department Property Room until it can be disposed of properly. It is not acceptable for residents to leave medicine outside the unit.
Please feel free to contact the Fishers Police Department at 317-595-3300 if you have any questions regarding this service.
