The Henry County Sheriff's Office is proud to announce that over the past year, our secure medication drop box collected and safely disposed of 𝟑𝟓𝟒 𝐩𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐮𝐧𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
That's 354 pounds of medications removed from homes, reducing the risk of misuse, accidental poisoning, and improper disposal.
This ongoing effort is made possible through a strong partnership between the Henry County Sheriff's Office and the Community Organization for Drug Elimination (CODE), originally supported through a grant from the Truman Lake Community Foundation.
Remember, our secure medication drop box is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in the bonding hallway of the Henry County Sheriff's Office.
Thank you to everyone who continues to utilize this service and help make our communities safer. Small actions can make a big difference.
