<DIV>Greetings. I am hoping to get some feedback from other programs that have established pharm collection containers at local law enforcement agencies.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In our program, the evidence room managers of the participating police agencies are voicing frustration over the disposal of items in the collection containers that are viewed, by the agencies, as outside the realm of the intended use of the program. Examples would include vitamins, over-the-counter meds etc... </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As public works staff, I facilitated the implementation of the program, come from the environmental side, and see the benefit of collecting some of these products. The police staff are looking at controlling illegal use of prescription meds. I would like them to collect these products but don't wish to alienate them to the point that they consider backing out all together. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone else run into this and what compromises were reached? Where did your program draw the line?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please respond to <A href="mailto:adeckers@cityofboise.org">adeckers@cityofboise.org</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks. Your time in responding is much appreciated.</DIV>
