d. Program Summary: Drugs are only problems in big cities, right? WRONG! Drugs are everywhere. People in smaller towns have to deal with a unique set of problems while trying to stop the flow of drugs in and out of their communities. Many people in small towns know each other. Police officers, teachers, and friends may not be able to recognize the signs of drug use or may not want to admit someone they know is in trouble. During this broadcast, you’ll learn about the latest drug investigation trends and techniques, the signs of narcotics trafficking, and signs of drug abuse.
In many communities, backup is far away. You don’t often have time to wait, so you have to do it all. In many smaller towns, people who abuse alcohol and drugs say they did it because there wasn’t anything else to do. Once the law catches up to them, treatment is often far away and so are drug courts. We’ll see how one state is trying to solve this problem without breaking the bank. We’ll also learn how a national organization can help your community.
Also, see how methamphetamine is hitting rural communities hard and what some communities and states are doing about it. You’ll also learn how to protect yourself if you come across a meth lab or dump.
