5. Narcotic incinerator and drug drop box
A significant portion of the criminal activity in Great Bend is related to illegal narcotics. Once criminal cases are resolved, the Police Department is responsible for properly disposing of the narcotics. A vendor based in Illinois offers a product called the Drug Terminator, which is a mobile incinerator that can be stored and deployed as needed. The Police Department is also requesting approval to purchase a secure drug drop box in the public lobby of the Police Department. This would provide residents with an anonymous and safe way to dispose of expired or unused medications year-round. A motion will be presented to approve the purchase of the drug terminator and the drug drop box from Elastec for $7,570.
