NET CARTOONS HELP POLICE IN WAR ON DRUGS

POLICE are passing on an anti-drugs message to children, by using
cartoons on the Internet.

Tayside Police have set up a fast-loading drugs information website,
featuring two interactive cartoon movies

The site, accessed on www.drugsaware.net, has already been nominated
for an award for its innovative design.

Tayside Police community officer Sergeant Fergus Storrier said: "We
see great importance in targeting information at people that is easy
to access.

"The site carries the phone numbers of useful contacts and also
numbers people can use to report drugs-related crime."
