October 2023 Drug Takeback Event Results
LAKE OSWEGO - On Saturday, October 28, 2023, Officer Drew Boggs, Evidence Technician Nikki Spiegel, Evidence Technician Stephanie Busse, Lead Security & Safety Coordinator Crystalline Williams, and Mary's Wood security enjoyed a crisp fall day and participated in the twice-yearly DEA Drug Take Back! DEA Diversion Investigator Michelle Mai also joined us for part of the event.
The event was conducted as a drive-thru and was very successful! We assisted 189 citizens in disposing of prescription and over-the-counter meds, totaling approximately 480 pounds!
We passed out treats this year and visited with many dogs, both on foot and in cars.
