PRESS RELEASE — DONATION

Sheriff’s Office Receives a Dona­tion of Sharps Containers.

Front Roy­al, VA – On Decem­ber 20, 2022, the War­ren Coun­ty Sheriff’s Office is pleased to announce that we received a gra­cious dona­tion of 100 sharps con­tain­ers and 35 mounts from the War­ren Memo­r­i­al Foun­da­tion. By receiv­ing this dona­tion, the sheriff’s office will be able to install a sharps con­tain­er in a safe loca­tion in our patrol vehi­cles to give a safe place to dis­pose of a sharp or bio­haz­ardous object that a deputy may encounter that is not of evi­den­tial val­ue. Hav­ing these sharps con­tain­ers will increase the deputy’s safe­ty to have a safe place to dis­pose of these sharp and bio­haz­ardous items while reduc­ing costs by no longer need­ing to pur­chase indi­vid­ual con­tain­ers for each item that is not evi­dence. Also, this will reduce land­fill waste. We would like to thank the War­ren Memo­r­i­al Foun­da­tion for fund­ing this project and Val­ley Health’s War­ren Memo­r­i­al Hos­pi­tal Phar­ma­cy for obtain­ing the sharps containers/mounts and their con­tin­ued sup­port. It’s through these part­ner­ships that togeth­er WE can make the difference.
