To apply for the grant, NADDI required, "letters authored and signed by the top law enforcement official on their letterhead, detailing the agency's need. to receive free of charge one of these boxes to accept these prescription drugs from their citizenry." NADDI used the letters as well as geographic proximity to other boxes to determine which applicants would be awarded the boxes. "The law enforcement agency must agree to certain guidelines to ensure that the boxes are not tampered with in any way, and to provide a regular schedule for removing the prescription drugs that are deposited by their citizens, according to NADDI.
"These drugs will then be handled in the same manner that other licit and illicit drugs are handled by law enforcement, likely with a court order to destroy the unwanted medications, leading to the ultimate proper destruction." NADDI awarded the box to the Union County Sheriff's office, but there was some concern. "It was like if we put it at the sheriff's office, people from the north and people from the south have to come to Marysville," said Patton. The sheriff asked Plain City Police Chief Jim Hill and Richwood Police Chief Monte Asher if they would be willing to have one of the boxes in their stations. "We had some drug funds that could be used specifically for these boxes, so I decided to buy these boxes with the cooperation of the other agencies putting them at their facilities to better serve the entire county," said Patton. NADDI sells the boxes at a discount.
Union County got an additional discount because it bought two boxes. The boxes, which look like stand alone post office boxes, marked with the NADDI logo as well as signage showing support from local officials, will be bolted into place at the police departments in Plain City and Richwood as well as the lobby of the Justice Center in Marysville. Patton said the box in Marysville will be available 24 hours a day, the box in Richwood will be available during regular office hours and the box in Plain City will be available during office hours as well, but residents will be able to call an officer on duty anytime to open the office so the box can be used. The sheriff stressed the boxes which have secured vaults in the bottom, can be used for pills and patches, but not liquids or needles. He said by having one in the police stations and sheriff's department, as well as having the prosecutors office involved, a strong message that the entire local government is in support of this program."
