ANNOUNCEMENTS
August 9, 2010
The Hampden Township Police Department has been interested in finding a vehicle to remove unused, unwanted or expired medicines from the homes of Hampden Township. These pills seem to find their way into the possession of children and addicted adults. We are fortunate that the federal government likewise recognizes this epidemic problem and is providing us that vehicle without costs of disposal. Our involvement will be providing a uniform officer, collecting the medicines, and taking to a central collection point for pickup by an agency chosen by the DEA. It is only one day and for four hours only so please take the time to use this program.
The Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is coordinating a one day National Take Back Day Initiative, a one-day collaborative effort with state and local law enforcement agencies to collect unused, unwanted, or expired pharmaceutical controlled substances and other medications to law enforcement agencies for destruction. This one day effort is scheduled to take place on Saturday, 25 September 2010 and the hours will be 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Hampden Twp Police Department is participating and the event will be held at the Recreation building located at 5001 Park Street Extended. This is located across from Sporting Hill Elementary and by the Township Park and Pool Complex.
Residents and NON residents having unused, unwanted or expired pharmaceutical in the pill form are welcome to bring them to the location specified above. The program is anonymous and no data will be obtained from any individual participating. The containers holding the medicines will be retained by those dropping off the pills, this insures anonymity.

Over the next few years the Hampden Township Police will be changing their fleet. We will be phasing out the blue cars and will be going with a new design, the traditional black and white. As of June 1st our first black and white cruiser arrived and has been placed in service. We expect the second cruiser to arrive in another week. Residents can expect to see two new black and white cruisers patrolling the neighborhoods.

Summer Beware
With Summer approaching, please make sure you shut your garage door. If you store alcohol in a refrigerator in the garage, and the garage door is left open, it is an invitation to unwanted entrance by youth looking for alcohol.
Also, unlocked car doors with property laying in plain view invites unwanted visitors.
