I would imagine it was protocol to stop the event in order to see if the problem was more wide-spread. Nevertheless, until we find a way to take the "people" out of the collection and disposal of medications, we're going continue to hear about these cases of diversion. If it's not law enforcement it will be postal workers, disposal facility staff, pharmacists, etc....where there's value, there's temptation.

Sad that the knee-jerk reaction to the officer’s alleged actions is to cancel the program.  The program wasn’t the problem.

Hopefully they will re-institute the program in the future.

 

 

“Yorkville police canceled the medication disposal program on the day Delaney was arrested.”
