Substance abuse greatly impacts crime, disorder, and the quality of life in many communities. We have designed our drug prevention programs to provide attendees with a comprehensive examination of the drug abuse issues to increase the awareness of drug recognition, associated paraphernalia, correlation with violent crime, and next-steps in creating community-based strategies through problem-solving. Every program concludes with an examination of examples of ordinances, civil remedies, and resources to respond and support next-steps in prevention and education.
For law enforcement departments, the program is designed to increase skills to identify substance abusers, types of drugs abused, drug paraphernalia, drug trafficking organizations, and investigative resources to respond today.
