DETALLES: (OXNARD, California)– On April 27 desde 9 a.m. a 2 p.m. el Departamento de Policía de Oxnard y la Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public its sixth opportunity in three years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Traiga sus medicamentos para su disposición en el Departamento de Policía de Oxnard a 251 Sur C Street, Oxnard, California 93030. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last September, Americans turned in 244 tons of prescription drugs at over 5,200 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners. In its five previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in over 2 million pounds—over a thousand tons—of pills.

In Oxnard, the Police Department has participated since the program’s inception, and has collected over 3,000 pounds of pills in the last two years.

Esta iniciativa aborda un tema vital para la seguridad pública y la salud pública. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Las tasas de abuso de medicamentos recetados en el U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. en adición, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards.

Four days after the first event, El Congreso aprobó la Ley de Eliminación de Drogas Seguro y Responsable de 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ultimate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled substances in certain instances. DEA is drafting regulations to implement the Act. Until new regulations are in place, local law enforcement agencies like the Oxnard Police Department and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.

INCIDENTE:	Every 15 Minutes Program
FECHA / HORA:	Miércoles, Mayo 1, 2013, 11:30 am-12:20 pm Jueves, Mayo 2, 2013, 11:25 am-12:20 pm

DETALLES: (OXNARD, California) – On Wednesday May 1, 2013, officers from the Oxnard Police Department will be coordinating the Every 15 Minutes (E15M) Program at Oxnard High School (OHS). Unique in its design and powerful in its impact, the Every 15 Minutes Program is an educational experience that reminds us all of the dangers associated with driving while impaired by alcohol and/or other drugs.

Every 15 minutes in the U.S., someone is killed in a crash involving an impaired driver. The E15M program includes student participants being removed from their class every 15 minutes throughout the morning by the Grim Reaper. Their obituary is read to the class and the student participants later return to class as the “living dead”, complete with white face make-up. From that point on (since the victims are “dead”), they will not speak or otherwise interact with others for the remainder of the day except to be present in their regular classes. Starting at about 11:25 a.m., the student body (all Juniors & Seniors) will assemble in the football stadium to witness a mock head-on crash scene and simulated rescue that will include a full emergency response by Oxnard Police, Oxnard Fuego, Gold Coast EMS, Ventura County Medical Examiner’s Office, and McCarty & Sons Towing. At the end of the school day, instead of returning home, student participants made into the “living dead” or those who were “killed” in the crash, together with several adult chaperones, will be transported to a local hotel for an overnight student retreat, facilitated by a support staff of counselors and police officers. The participants will continue to be out of contact with their family and friends overnight to simulate their separation/death.

The E15M program will continue on May 2, 2013 with a mock “funeral” assembly in the Oxnard High School gym starting at 11:30 a.m. where participants and their parents will share personal and often very emotional letters they wrote to one another the previous evening that begin with “Dear Mom & Dad, Every 15 minutes in the United States, someone is killed in a crash involving an impaired driver. Today I died. I never had a chance to tell you…” This is arguably the most powerful, impactful, and emotional part of the 2- day program. While the crash was staged, the emotions of the funeral assembly are very real!

This powerful program, funded by community donations and sponsored by the Oxnard Police Foundation, will challenge teenagers and others to think about the responsibility of making mature decisions when lives are involved.

This year Oxnard High School participants are:

Amelia Veronica
Benito Moran
Andrea Resendiz
Meagan Contreras
Ashley Klug
Jelani Legohn
Devin Babuata
Jesse Godinez
Roy Cervantes
Sergio Esquivel
Adam Espinosa
Rukiah Cotton
Ashley Molina
Marissa Felix
Kelly Albers
Andres Cardona
Officer Greg Harasymowycz (as the Grim Reaper)

DETALLES:
Oxnard, CA – Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on Friday, April 26th at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 9:00 p.m. a 3:00 a.m.

El efecto disuasorio de los puntos de control de DUI es un recurso comprobado para reducir el número de personas muertas y heridas en accidentes relacionados con el alcohol o las drogas.. Research shows that crashes involving alcohol drop by an average of 20 percent when well-publicized checkpoints are conducted often enough.

Los oficiales se pondrán en contacto los conductores que pasan por el punto de control en busca de signos de alcohol y / o deterioro de drogas. Officers will also check drivers for proper licensing and will strive to delay motorists only momentarily. Cuando sea posible, especialmente oficiales entrenados estarán disponibles para evaluar los sospechosos de conductores ebrios con las drogas. Drivers caught driving impaired can expect jail, suspensión de la licencia, and insurance increases, as well as fines, matrícula, clases de DUI, otros gastos que pueden superar $10,000.

En 2010, encima 10,000 people were killed nationally in motor vehicle traffic crashes that involved at least one driver or motorcycle rider with a blood alcohol concentration (LAC) de .08% o mayor. En California, este crimen mortal condujo a 791 deaths because someone failed to designate a sober driver. “Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed 6 lives and resulted in 616 injury crashes harming 372 of our friends and neighbors,” said Senior Officer Jamie Brown.

Según la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 para cada $1 gastado. Based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests, DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations that have the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Ubicaciones se eligen con consideraciones de seguridad para los funcionarios y el público.

Los fondos para este puesto de control se proporciona al Departamento de Policía de Oxnard por una subvención de la Oficina de Seguridad Vial de California, través de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial, reminding everyone to continue to work together to bring an end to these tragedies. If you see a Drunk Driver – Call 9-1-1.
