On Saturday September 9, 2017, the Camarillo Police Department is partnering with Leisure Village Security to collect unused / expired prescription medication, from residents of the village. The Camarillo Police Department started its first prescription Rx collection at Leisure Village, in December of 2012. Knowing how difficult it is for some elderly residents to bring the unused / expired prescriptions to the drop off bin at the Police Station, the Camarillo Police Department has been bringing the collection to the residents.

Since 2012, a total of over 1,000 pounds of unused/expired prescription medication has been collected. Based on the success of these collections, the Camarillo Police Department and Leisure Village Security are conducting additional collections at least twice a year. The Camarillo Police Department would like to remind citizens that unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to overdose and abuse. Unused drugs that are flushed contaminate the water supply.

The Camarillo Police Department would like to thank the residents of Leisure Village and Leisure Village Security for their help in making our community a safer one. As a reminder, if you want to drop off unused / expired medications at the Camarillo Police Department or any other Sheriff sub-station, we have Pharmaceutical drop-off bins in all of our lobbies. The lobbies at each sub- station are open Monday-Friday from 8:00AM-5:00PM.
