The Venice Police Department will join several law enforcement agencies throughout Sarasota County on Saturday, Oct. 24 for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) National Prescription Drug Take Back Day so citizens may properly dispose of prescription medications.

The VPD lobby at 1575 E. Venice Ave. will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 24 to participate in the Drug Take Back Day. Officers will be on hand during that time to assist anyone bringing in their expired or unwanted prescription medications.
