Campaign To Target Substance Abuse In Larne
The PSNI have begun a campaign to tackle substance abuse in Larne, County Antrim.
In collaboration with the Larne Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP), the project is targeted at young people and adults.
Larne PCSP Chair Michael Lynch said: "Larne PCSP are delighted to work in Partnership with Larne PSNI to deliver a public awareness campaign to target young people and adults to educate and raise awareness as to the misuse of legal highs. This is an excellent opportunity for Larne PCSP to fund a project in partnership with statutory bodies to help reduce crime, the fear of crime and generally improve the quality of life for local residents."
Larne PSNI commander, Chief Inspector Stephen McCauley added: "Drugs remain a real issue of concern to local communities. Police understand that and are keeping people safe by enforcing the law.
"There is an important education piece around the issue of drug misuse. It is important for police to work in partnership with communities, particularly young people when it comes to drug misuse. That’s why I’m totally behind the Popping Candy production and associated campaign and wider work of the Policing and Community Safety Partnership.
"The message from police is that drugs, including so called legal highs, can cause harm to individuals and communities."
