SUMMARY: The Hattiesburg Police Department will host a drug takeback event today to encourage residents to drop off old and unused prescription drugs. By collecting these medications, they aim to ultimately keep them out of the hands of children and others who may misuse prescription drugs. The event will be held from 2 PM to 4 PM at the Public Safety Complex. The initiative is part of a larger strategy to help keep the community safe and healthier by addressing the issue of prescription drug misuse, which affects millions of people in the United States, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., people could come to the Public Safety Complex and drop off their old medications.
