After reading this week lesson, I choose to speak about something that I deal with a on daily basis here in South Florida. I’m talking the abuse about controlled prescription medication. Ever since I began a police officer in 2008, I’ve seen numerous people use prescribed medications and die from overdosing on them. It’s not just a south Florida thing, but a national and global epidemic that’s causing more deaths than violent crimes. As a police officers I have conducted surveillance on pill mills, potential buyer, and seller of controlled substances. I’ve also seen the pain it has cause families who have love one addicted and have died from using prescription medicines. The problem with its epidemic are the doctors who don’t care and prescribed the controlled substances to people who obviously don’t need them. We have people from all over the country and the world come down here and doctor shop. Which basically means they’re going to different doctors willing to prescribe them whatever they need and taking all the pill back to their home state and selling them for profit. After that they repeat the process all over again until they are eventually caught, or the doctor is arrested. Overdosing has literally caused approximately 2300 to 2500 deaths in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade County in 2016. It’s a growing problem that we as nation face and we need to get handle on the situation or more deaths will continue to happen.
