On Saturday, April 26th, 2025, the Kankakee Area Metropolitan Enforcement Group (KAMEG), the Pledge for Life Partnership, State Representative Jackie Haas, Senator Patrick Joyce, the Kankakee County Health Department, Riverside Healthcare, and local Law Enforcement, partnered with the Drug Enforcement Administration in the National Prescription Drug Take Back Day at the Northfield Square Mall. KAMEG Director Clayt Wolfe reported that the event was once again an overwhelming success with approximately 800 pounds of unwanted prescription drugs turned in for disposal in Kankakee County alone. KAMEG would like to thank area residents for their continued support and for assisting in the event to make our communities safer.
