NATIONAL DRUG TAKE BACK XVI FALL 2018: The Morgan City Police Department has supported the National Drug Take Back for the past several years and in 2016, with the support of our community partner, Urgent Care of Morgan City, we deployed a disposal drop box to help our citizens dispose of unwanted dangerous drugs from their homes. This box, which is stationed in the front lobby of the Morgan City Police Department provides a year round location to dispose of expired, unused or unwanted dangerous drugs which can endanger our families and provide a path to addiction. During the XV National Drug Take Back in April 2018, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and it's community partners which includes the Morgan City Police Department provided over 5,482 collection sites nationwide. This past effort yielded over 475 TONS of medications. On Saturday, October 27, 2018, Morgan City Police Department Detectives and our community partners, Walgreen's Pharmacy and Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market joined to conduct collection sites. Our efforts collected over 84 pounds of dangerous drugs. A great effort during a short period of time. We could like to remind you, if you have unused, unwanted or expired dangerous drugs in your home, you may dispose of those items at the Morgan City Police Department, weekdays between 5 am-4 pm or contact the Morgan City Police Department @ (985)380-4605 for more information. Thanks and Stay Safe
