National Take-Back Day

On September 25, 2010, The Camarillo Police Department will be participating in the National Take-Back Day sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency. The National Take-Back Day provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications for destruction. These drugs are a potential source of supply for illegal use and an unacceptable risk to public health and safety.

Collection activities will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Camarillo Police Department, located at 3701 E. Las Posas Road in Camarillo. The program is anonymous. Prescription and over the counter solid dosage medications, i.e. tablets and capsules are accepted. Intra-venous solutions, injectables, and needles will not be accepted. Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine will also not be accepted.

In addition to the above program, The Camarillo Police Department currently has a prescription drug drop receptacle located in the front lobby. This receptacle can be used to drop off expired, unwanted, or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications for destruction. Syringes or needles are not accepted. The receptacle can be accessed Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.

Kid Print

In conjunction with the National Take-Back Day, the Camarillo Police Department will be offering the Kid Print service on 9/25/10 from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Camarillo Police Department. Kid Print is a service offered by the Camarillo Police Department to provide parents with a Child Identification System, by obtaining the child's fingerprints and giving the parents an identification card with their child's information and picture. This service is available to the public free of charge.
