Parents Who Host Lose the Most

Don’t be a party to teenage drinking

This program encourages parents and the ENTIRE community to send a unified message that teen alcohol consumption is unhealthy, unsafe and unacceptable.

The program takes place at state and local levels, concentrating on celebratory times for youth, such as homecoming, holidays, prom, graduation and other times when underage drinking parties are prevalent.

Parents who host teenage drinking parties face a variety of unpleasant consequences.

Are you willing to…
1. pay a $1,000 fine per person served?
2. spend 180 days in jail per person served?
3. pay a $15,000 fine if an injury occurs?
4. spend 5 years in prison if an injury occurs?

We didn’t think so! Don’t make a “Big Mistake”! Watch this short video clip.

Project Medicine Drop

by

For too many, addiction begins in the medicine cabinet

Project Medicine Drop provides the opportunity for anyone to discard unused household and prescription medications any day throughout the year. There are now 9 locations throughout Warren County. (And while you’re at it, don’t forget about Grandma’s stash!!)

Project Medicine DropEach Project Medicine Drop box is affixed to the floor or a wall in a secure area within police department headquarters, well within view of law enforcement officers, in an area where members of the public may dispose of their unused medications. The prominent “Project Medicine Drop” logos make the boxes highly visible and recognizable.

The New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs has developed Project Medicine Drop as an important component of its effort to halt the abuse and diversion of prescription drugs. Police departments in Warren County interested in joining Project Medicine Drop should be aware of the requirements. Details are provided in the “Project Medicine Drop Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).”

This initiative builds on the success of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s National Take Back Initiative and the American Medicine Chest Challenge, which is sponsored in New Jersey by the DEA, Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey and the Sheriffs’ Association of New Jersey. Both programs provide opportunities to drop off unused medications at pre-identified, secure locations.
