What can you do?
Be responsible. If a Doctor did not prescribe the pill to you, don’t take it. Taking a pill containing a substance like fentanyl could be fatal.
Be proactive. If you or someone you know is in possession of, or you have information about, pills you think may have been manufactured or distributed illegally, please contact an APD Officer via the non-emergency dispatch line at (360) 428-3211. To remain anonymous, call the APD tip line at (360) 299-1985 and leave a detailed message.
