The officer in charge of Drug Take Back said the event makes the community a little safer.

“Whether a person may be prescribed those drugs and just not taking them fully, instead of them laying around cabinets where it may be in reach of children or any other family members, you can bring them to the drug take back center where they’ll be disposed of properly,” said Sgt. David Bailey, BPD community services officer.
