Increasingly, the Department is being asked to assist in the funding of these programs and has done so quite frequently. The Department takes an affirmative role in the education of our community in the harms associated with drug abuse.

Many avenues have been used to reach as wide an audience as possible, including: advertisement campaigns, utilizing all types of media, training classes and seminars, sports programs, and others. All have a common goal: to educate the public about the dangers of substance abuse. It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution funding the Anti -Drug Education Program, in the amount of $85,000, be approved.
