Province-wide effort to reduce risks associated with leftover medications

(Brockville On) –– The Brockville Police Service today unveiled details of an important province-wide public safety initiative to encourage Ontario residents to dispose of old and unused prescription medication in a secure, environmentally-friendly manner.

“Police in communities across Ontario recognize prescription drug abuse can lead to increases in a wide spectrum of violent acts, property crimes and a risk to those who abuse them. We support this excellent initiative as another way to reduce this threat to public safety in a secure manner” said Inspector Fraser.

The Brockville Police Service along with Crimestoppers will be hosting a collection location on Prescription Drug Drop Off Day on Saturday, May 11, 2013 at the Brockville Police Services Headquarters 2269 Parkedale Avenue Brockville ON between the hours of Noon and 4:00 p.m. Citizens wishing to dispose of outdated, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs may do so anonymously at the location nearest them usually without having to get out of their vehicles.

The Controlled Drug and Substances Act (CDSA) prohibits anyone from possessing oxycodone or any other prescribed medication without a prescription. It is a criminal offence to offer or sell a prescribed medication to another person. Purchasing another person’s prescribed drugs is also illegal. Prescription drug misuse is the use of prescription drugs for non-medical purposes. Common prescription drugs being misused are opioid pain relievers (such as oxycodone), anti-depressants, and stimulants. Recent studies indicate 24 per cent of teens reported misusing prescription medications at least once within the previous year. Most of the teens took the medication from their family home.

Prescription Drug Drop-off Day is proudly supported by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), the Government of Ontario, and Public Safety Canada.

The Brockville Police would like to remind people to be extremely cautious when dealing on-line. Transactions can include the purchasing of items, the sale of items or employment requests. These deals often appear to be promising but are a scam.

Some ways to ensure you do not become a victim:

• Employment- If someone is offering employment they should have a company history that is readily findable. A location, business name and telephone number are some basics that most businesses offer. It is important you do your homework
• If you are purchasing or selling an item on-line from or to an unknown source you are always running a risk. Understand that the on-line world offers a suspect anonymity and once you have sent an item or money it can be very difficult if not impossible to get it back.
• In the event you believe you might be involved in a scam please talk to somebody. Often times another perspective on the matter will be enlightening.

The Brockville Police Service today joined police services across Ontario in supporting the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police’s (OACP) 2013 Crime Prevention Campaign aimed at raising public awareness about personal responsibility when it comes to preventing crime.

“Preventing a crime before it happens rather than having to deal with the consequences of crime is always our goal. We are proud to support this campaign and its theme, “Crime Prevention...it Starts With You!”, because we believe in the important role every member of our community plays in preventing crime.” said Inspector Scott Fraser.

Ontario police organizations are supporting the OACP’s 2013 Crime Prevention Campaign, which seeks to raise public awareness about the important role individuals play in crime prevention. The campaign focuses on a broad range of issues that impact citizens across the province: on-line fraud, identification theft and other cybercrimes, auto theft, break-and-enters, etc. These types of crimes can victimize anyone, anywhere. A crime prevention booklet is being made available to the public though police services which contains helpful crime prevention tips and information.

“Our officers work hard with members of the community, crime prevention organizations, business, schools, and governments to promote crime prevention as a crime fighting solution,” said Fraser. “This campaign is an invitation for everyone to join their police service to make our community safe.”

This OACP campaign is made possible through the support of a number of partners: The Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation, Interact Association, Symantec Canada Inc., TitlePLUS, The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association, Via Rail Canada, Humber College, The Canadian Security Association, Globali.com, Accident Support Services International Ltd., and Canpar.
