Please join us and our fellow public safety servants from Lake City and Columbia County at the Annual Lake City-Columbia County Public Safety Memorial. This event is held to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our community and to recognize their families. 2026 Memorial Organized by: Columbia County Sheriff's Office
The Lake City Police Department participates in the DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day to provide a safe, convenient, and responsible way for community members to dispose of unused or expired medications. Proper disposal helps prevent prescription drug misuse and keeps medications from being accidentally ingested by children or pets.
During the event, residents can bring expired, unwanted, or unused prescription medications and other pharmaceutical substances for safe disposal by law enforcement. No appointments are required, and the service is free and anonymous.
Originally launched in 2019, this program provides local high school students with structured summer employment to keep them engaged during out-of-school months while building positive relationships with law enforcement and the community. Participants work Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., earning $15 per hour and up to $2,880 before taxes, while gaining valuable work experience and references. Eligible students must be ages 16–18 (or 19 if graduating in 2026), enrolled in school, have reliable transportation, and live in Columbia County. Key dates include an application deadline of April 24, 2026, with the program running from June 8 through July 16, 2026.
