To help curb the misuse and abuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs, all Southern Nevada residents are encouraged to participate. To date, Operation Medicine Cabinet has collected more than 2 million million oral doses of medications, helping keep them out of the wrong hands. Operation Medicine Cabinet was created in February 2010 by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and Roseman University of Health Sciences (formerly University of Southern Nevada) to combat prescription and over-the-counter misuse and abuse. Operation Medicine Cabinet events have been supported by the Clark County Coroner’s Office, Las Vegas Metropolitan Water District, Narcotics Education Foundation of Nevada, RX DrugSafe, Pain in the Drain, Southern Nevada Health District, 8 News Now, Drug Enforcement Administration and local law enforcement.
