LANSING POLICE SELLING DRUG-TEST KITS TO PARENTS

Lansing police want mid-Michigan parents to know drug-test kits are
available for a small fee.

In June, police handed out about 300 free kits to parents wanting to
test their children at home. The free kits were part of a statewide
early intervention program called Law Enforcement Against Drugs.

The urine tests can screen for drugs including cocaine, marijuana,
Ecstasy, methamphetamine, morphine and PCP. There is a separate test
for alcohol. The tests, which provide readings within minutes, are $3
or $12, depending on the test, police Sgt. Linda Doherty-Wright said.

The tests can cost $30 or $40 at drug stores or as much as $100 at a
doctor's office, she said.

For more information call Lansing police at 483-4600.
