Take Back Initiative

Peters Township Police Department is taking part in Take Back Initiative sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice. The purpose of this initiative is to remove as much outdated, unused/un-needed prescription medications from communities as possible. By providing an environmentally safe way to dispose of these medications, the Police are also assisting in removing these medications from the home and reducing the abuse of prescription medications, which is one of the fastest growing areas of drug abuse in the United States.

To make this program as convenient as possible for residents, items (prescription pills and liquids as well as over the counter medications) may be dropped in the drop box located in the lobby of the Peters Township Police Department between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday. This is absolutely an anonymous program. 

Also, a uniformed police officer will be stationed at the following Peters Township locations to accept drop-offs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.:
