The Pierce Township Police Department is pleased to announce the acquisition of a grant from the National Association of Drug Diversion Investigators.  The $10,000 grant is funded by Purdue Pharma Pharmaceuticals in Stamford, Conn.

The purpose of the grant is to provide services that increase the enforcement and/or education of the prescription drug abuse problem in Pierce Township and Clermont County.

The grant was awarded due to the “…outstanding work in the field of prescription drug abuse enforcement” by the Pierce Township Police Department and the Clermont County Narcotics Unit.

The monies will be spent on a variety of equipment, training, and fiscal needs.
