The Shop With a Cop program is held each December and is coordinated through Green County Law Enforcement associations and funded by donations.  More than 100 children are able to shop with law enforcement officers each year.  In December, Belleville officers take local kids to Wal-Mart in Monroe.  Each child is allowed to spend about $100 on gifts for themselves and family members.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Belleville PD Announces New Drug Disposal Bin

 

Citizens of Belleville and surrounding communities now have an option for disposing of unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medication.  A drug disposal bin has been installed in the lobby of the Police Department.  Solid and liquid medications, creams, ointments, nasal sprays, and pet medicines can be left in the bin.  Please remove the labels, delete any confidential information, or place the pills in an unlabeled plastic baggie.  These items cannot be accepted:  intravenous solutions, inhalers, aerosols, injectables, and sharps/needles.


The disposal bin is accessible by contacting an officer to meet you at the former Police Department at 31 East Main Street.  Please call 608-424-3129 to request an officer.  If there is no answer, you may leave a message (for non-urgent calls only) or call 608-255-2345 to request an officer be dispatched to 31 East Main Street.  

 

The drug disposal bin was acquired through a grant with the help of Jordyn Schara, Founder of WI P2D2 (Wisconsin Prescription Pill and Drug Disposal).
