</div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>Perhaps this brief piece adds to
a more complete picture of the situation in California.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>1)
What state do you work in or represent?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>
<span style='color:#1F497D'>California<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>2)
Are police station drop boxes allowed or prohibited in your state?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>
If t<span style='color:#1F497D'>hey are prohibited, it is a secret, so I do not
believe that they are. We did a bit of fact-finding before we initiated our
City’s program in 2007. It takes political leadership in the local jurisdiction
to have the Sheriff/Police Department participate. Cost is often an issue for
Police Departments and their officers to participate in these programs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>3)
Is there specific guidance or legal requirements associated with the drop boxes
beyond obtaining DEA waivers and complying with haz waste rules/exemptions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>
<span style='color:#1F497D'>There may be local ordinances within areas and
cities to guide the Police and/or Sheriffs’ departments, and there is the
specific Federal laws on narcotics to guide them. Otherwise, California’s
unit of DEA has been known to direct requesters to the Federal Office of
Liaison and Policy when they request waivers. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>4)
Have there been any problems with police station drop boxes in your state?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:.5in'><span style='color:#1F497D'>While I cannot speak to the entire state, there has not
been any significant problem in my local area. Our Police Department has been
wonderful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>All of my answers above and the
following comments are offered to the Listserve from my experience as one of
the agencies who worked closely with the author of SB966 in California before
it became law.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>SB966’s goals are to mandate the
State and local agencies to operate as described by Burke, and ultimately to
provide a model for handling many of the complex issues associated with this
environmental problem. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>At least part of the intent of
SB966 is to offer legal and somewhat standardized processes for local
governments in California to collect, inventory and responsibly dispose of
unwanted pharmaceuticals, however it does not seem to proscribe or otherwise
limit other legal processes that are achieving the same ends in California. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>These processes include the
voluntary efforts of Police Departments and Pharmacists who are participating
in responsible continuous collection and disposal of unwanted pharmaceuticals.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>I hope this helps a little bit.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>I'm currently surveying all
pharma collection sites in California to comply with our SB
966<http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/sen/sb_0951-1000/sb_966_bill_20071012_chaptered.html>
so I have a pretty good handle on all the roughly 45 law enforcement sites in
the state - although I'll know more after all the results come in.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>1)
What state do you work in or represent? California<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>2)
Are police station drop boxes allowed or prohibited in your state? SB 966
mandated that my agency create model program
guidelines<http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/HomeHazWaste/Medications/ModelProgram/Criteria.pdf>,
which are now the leading officially-sanctioned guidelines in California.
Those non-mandatory guidelines include language specific to law enforcement
programs, and SB 966 includes this statement:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>(d) Model programs deemed in
compliance with this article shall be deemed in compliance with state law and
regulation concerning the handling, management, and disposal of drug waste for
the purposes of implementing the model program.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>3)
Is there specific guidance or legal requirements associated with the drop boxes
beyond obtaining DEA waivers and complying with haz waste rules/exemptions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>You're welcome to look through
our 15-page
guidelines<http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/HomeHazWaste/Medications/ModelProgram/Criteria.pdf>
since much of it touches on law enforcement and controlled substances
issues. However, these two provisions stand out:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>For controlled substances, the
signed inventory must accompany the pharmaceutical waste and must stay with law
enforcement in the evidence storage locker and through the point of
destruction. Before the home-generated pharmaceutical waste is destroyed, the
contents must be checked against the inventory to ensure that there has been no
diversion. This is a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency law.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>Events:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>c. Law Enforcement - Law
enforcement may participate in a collection event to provide security for event
personnel. This is optional and at the discretion of collection organizers. A
law enforcement officer is only required to attend and participate in a
collection event only if controlled substances are to be accepted at the event.
Per U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) law, only a law enforcement officer may
accept controlled substances from the consumer. If controlled substances will
be accepted, the operator of the event shall ask the law enforcement agency
that is providing the officer if the agency has any specific requirements that
the event must adhere to. For example, the law enforcement agency may specify
the type of packaging that the drugs must be contained in to be accepted into
their evidence locker, or if the containers the collection event will provide,
are adequate for the law enforcement agency purposes. For controlled substances
only, law enforcement must be on site at all times and be able to see the
collection and movement of the home-generated pharmaceutical wastes from the
public to the collection location. Law enforcement must be able to see the
transfer of home-generated pharmaceutical wastes from vehicles to the
collection containers. The operator should coordinate with law enforcement to
determine the appropriate position for law enforcement to be stationed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>4)
Have there been any problems with police station drop boxes in your state?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>One program has their drop-box
under surveillance in the parking lot about 50 feet from the entrance to their
law enforcement facility. They said they had some trouble with what they
were assuming were small businesses dropping off a lot of pharmaceutical waste
and/or sharps but that may have worked itself out by now. They also told
me if they had to do it over again, they wouldn't recommend putting the bin in
the parking lot if for no other reason because of the inconvenience of emptying
the box that's 50 feet away.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText style='margin-left:.5in'>There's another program that has
secure collection bins in pharmacies (and at law enforcement locations) but
only allows law enforcement to collect the waste including controlled
substances. The DEA told them they didn't like that and would follow up
with an official letter saying that, but it's been about 9 months now and they
still haven't received that letter.<o:p></o:p></p>
