REMAIN VIGILANT

The newly released results of the survey conducted by the Hawai'i Meth
Project show that their hard-hitting ads are working and that
Hawai'i's youth see greater risk associated with using "ice."

As our island residents become more aware of the dangers and
consequences associated with this drug, the better our chances of
tackling this epidemic from all angles.

The Hawai'i Meth Project has demonstrated a commitment to spreading
their "Not Even Once" message across the state and to the community
here on Kaua'i.

In the past year, the Kaua'i Police Department's School Resource and
Community Policing Officers worked collaboratively with the Hawai'i
Meth Project to get in front of the problem while at the same time
working to manage the epidemic and criminal activity associated with
crystal meth, ice, in an effort to keep our community safe.

A mahalo must go out to all of our partners throughout the island,
including those who have put Hawai'i Meth Project posters in their
places of business and others who are addressing the crystal meth
epidemic through peer outreach such as the Hawai'i Children's
Theatre's Pono Players.

There is no magic bullet to stop the scourge of this drug, but,
working together, we can ensure that our children are aware of the
dangers associated with trying this drug "even once."

Also of concern is the upward trend of marijuana, alcohol, and
pharmaceutical drugs usage. We must all remain vigilant.

Chief Darryl Perry,

Kaua'i Police Department
