What parents should know about drugs

Illegal drugs can affect your child in any community in the United States.  There is no "safe haven" from drugs, since it is an epidemic that crosses all socioeconomic and educational lines.  All parents should be informed about what drugs are in the community, what kids are talking about, peer pressure, signs of drug usage and how to talk to your children about drugs.  Please visit: Parents. The Anti-Drug for this information and more.

Don't be a victim, get involved!  Know your neighbors.  Form a neighborhood crime watch and fight back against drug dealers.  Contact the Longview Police Department PAR Unit to get started.
