Pella PD Cars August 2015

Local law enforcement is taking part in the bi-annual drug take back program on October 22nd.

Lt. Paul Haase with the Pella Police Department tells KNIA/KRLS News they will be accepting unused and expired prescription drugs for safe disposal.

“As a department, it keeps prescription drugs out of the hands of other people that are not prescribed those drugs,” Haase says.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is also participating in the national program from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. next Saturday.
