The Vancouver Police Department’s recent program providing prescription delivery options will be coming to an end. Started on April, 10 2020, following the lead of neighboring law enforcement agencies, the pilot prescription delivery program was available for City of Vancouver residents while the Washington State Stay At Home Order is in place.
Prescriptions were delivered by Vancouver Police Department Recruit Officers who were waiting to attend the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy. The Recruit Officers will be returning to the academy to resume or begin their training; therefore the prescription delivery program will be discontinued effective May 28, 2020, due to staffing availability. All pending and confirmed prescription deliveries will be completed prior to the program being discontinued.
The program provided Recruit Officers with a great opportunity to serve the residents of Vancouver in advance of their training to become Vancouver Police Officers. Over the past six weeks, 25 prescription orders were scheduled and delivered to Vancouver residents as part of this program.
