SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT TAKING BACK UNWANTED PRESCRIPTION DRUGS APRIL 30, 2016 AT ALL DISTRICT STATIONS 

San Francisco, CA – On April 30, 2016 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the San Francisco Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.  Bring your medications for disposal to any of the San Francisco Police Departments District Stations throughout San Francisco.  The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. 

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue.  Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.  Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. 

Please start preparing now and look through your medicine cabinets. 

WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING INTRA-VENOUS SOLUTIONS, NEEDLES, INHALERS OR PATCH STYLE MEDICATIONS.  

ILLICIT SUBSTANCES SUCH AS METHAMPHETAMINE, MARIJUANA, ETC ARE NOT PART OF THIS INITIATIVE.

Arrests:

2:45am       Congdon/Trumbull                   Narcotics

He never had one. They removed him from the car and placed him in custody. A search of the vehicle revealed quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine and the equipment used to ingest both drugs. The suspect was taken to Ingleside Station for booking. Report number: 160335400

Serious Incidents:

1:58am       700 Blk London                        Robbery

A man coming home from work was robbed by a woman suspect. The victim told Ingleside Officers Shih and Neary that he exited the Balboa Park Station and walked east on Geneva, then North on Mission, east on Amazon, and finally north on London nearing his home. As he traveled on the 700 block of London a woman approached him and said, “I want some money’ while holding a stun gun in her hand. The victim said he didn’t have any money. The woman pressed the trigger on the stun gun and again demanded money. The victim, realizing that complying was better than valor, gave the suspect his wallet. She turned and ran to a waiting Mercedes that sped away. Report number: 160335375
