DETALLES:

Oxnard, California – On April 29th from 10 a.m. a 2 p.m. el Departamento de Policía de Oxnard y la Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) gave the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Two locations were available for medication disposal: the Oxnard Police Department located at 251 South C Street and the CVS Pharmacy at 551 S. Ventura Rd.. The service provided was free and anonymous, no questions asked. At the conclusion of this event, the Oxnard Police Department collected approximately 450 pounds of medications. That is almost 400 pounds more than what was collected in October of 2016!

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.

The Oxnard Police Department will continue to partner with the DEA to hold these events. Please continue to monitor our social media and website for additional dates.

DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint Planned this Weekend

The Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s license checkpoint on April 29, 2017, en un lugar secreto dentro de los límites de la ciudad en el horario de 8:00 p.m. a 3:00 a.m.

En años recientes, California ha visto un preocupante aumento de los accidentes por conductores con discapacidad con las drogas. Oxnard PD soporta el nuevo esfuerzo por parte de la Oficina de Seguridad Vial que tiene como objetivo educar a todos los conductores que “DUI no sólo significa la bebida.” Si usted toma medicamentos recetados, particularmente aquellos con un conducir o manejar maquinaria advertencia en la etiqueta, que puede haberse deteriorado lo suficiente como para obtener un DUI. La marihuana también puede deteriorando, especialmente en combinación con alcohol o de otras drogas, y puede resultar en un DUI.

The deterrent effect of High Visibility Enforcement using both DUI checkpoints and DUI saturation patrols has proven to lower the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug-impaired crashes. Las investigaciones muestran que los accidentes que involucran conductores ebrios pueden reducirse hasta en un 20 por ciento cuando las operaciones de DUI proactivas bien publicitadas se llevan a cabo de forma rutinaria.

los puestos de control de DUI como éste se colocan en lugares en base a estadísticas de colisión y frecuencia de los arrestos por DUI, afford the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Ubicaciones se eligen con consideraciones de seguridad para los funcionarios y el público.

En California, colisiones alcohol involucrados llevaron a 1,155 muertes y casi 24,000 lesiones graves en 2014 porque alguien no designó a un conductor sobrio. En el transcurso de los últimos tres años, agentes de Oxnard PD han investigado 718 DUI collisions which have claimed eight lives and resulted in another 468 lesiones.

Los oficiales estarán en busca de signos de alcohol y / o drogas deterioro, con agentes de control de controladores para la obtención de licencias, retrasar los automovilistas sólo momentáneamente. Cuando sea posible, especialmente oficiales entrenados estarán disponibles para evaluar los sospechosos de conductores ebrios con las drogas, que ahora representa un número creciente de accidentes por conductores con discapacidad.

Los estudios de los conductores de California han demostrado que 30 por ciento de los conductores en los accidentes fatales tenían una o más drogas en sus sistemas. Un estudio de los conductores activos mostraron más dio positivo para los medicamentos que perjudiquen conducción (14 por ciento) que hizo por el alcohol (7.3 por ciento). De los fármacos, marihuana era más prevalente, en 7.4 por ciento, un poco más de alcohol. Todos deben tener en cuenta que si está tomando medicamentos, ya sean recetados o de venta libre, beber incluso pequeñas cantidades de alcohol puede intensificar en gran medida los efectos del deterioro..

Los conductores tomados conductores ebrios pueden esperar que el impacto de un arresto por DUI para incluir tiempo en la cárcel, multas, matrícula, clases de DUI, license suspensions and other expenses that can exceed $10,000 por no hablar de la vergüenza cuando los amigos y familiares se enteran.
