Medications
Medications in standard containers may be deposited in collection boxes. Loose medication can be put into plastic bags available at the collection box and then deposited. Please ensure any liquid medication is enclosed in secure containers before depositing.
Once collected, evidence staff will ensure the medication is disposed of according to federal standards.
Most prescription drug drop-off locations are open weekdays from 8am to 5pm. Call the station’s non-emergency number for hours.
Ammunition
Residents must go inside the station first to notify the front desk about the ammunition. Ammunition should be kept in the trunk until a deputy securely removes it from vehicle. Call the station’s non-emergency number for more instructions.
