Prescription Drug "Take back" Event

In April 2011, Fitzwilliam Police participated in the 2nd annual National Prescription Drug Take Back event hosted across the nation. This event was even more successful than the first. New Hapmshire had 92 collection sites and collected 4,020 pounds of prescription drugs. This was a 60% increase from last fall when 2,479 pounds were collected at approximately 50 sites. Fitzwilliam Police collected approximately 30 pounds of prescription drugs to contribute to the success of this Spring's collection program.

Saturday - October 29, 2011 was another successful Prescription Take Back collection date. Fitzwilliam Police Department collected approximately 20lbs. of unwanted drugs.

The DEA will be coordinating another Prescription Take Back in the Spring of 2012. When the actual date is announced, it will be posted here.

Welcome To USAonWatch.org

Not only does neighborhood watch allow citizens to help in the fight against crime, it is also an opportunity for communities to bond through service. The Neighborhood Watch Program draws upon the compassion of average citizens, asking them to lend their neighbors a hand. USAonWatch is the portal for training to assist law enforcement agencies and their communities, technical assistance, resource documents, watch stories, networking, and assistance to the field.Since 1972, the USAonWatch-Neighborhood Watch Program (housed within the National Sheriffs’ Association) has worked to unite law enforcement agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens in a nation-wide effort to reduce crime and improve local communities. The success of the program has established Neighborhood Watch as the nation’s premier crime prevention and community mobilization program. Visible signs of the program are seen throughout American on street signs, window decals, community block parties and service projects.USAonWatch® empowers citizens to become active in community efforts through participation in Neighborhood Watch groups. The goal of this site is to provide information, technical support and resources to local law enforcement agencies and citizens.
