TIP OF THE WEEK

 

Talk to Your Kids About 
Drugs

During the week of October 23 
through 31, the Monrovia Police 
Department celebrated Red 
Ribbon Week 2012. Red Ribbon 
Week is a national campaign to 
raise awareness about substance 
abuse among our youth and our communities. In 1985, DEA Agent Enrique, "Kiki," Camarena was 
murdered by a drug cartel. To honor his memory and to show support that we will continue the fight 
against illegal drugs, Monrovia Police Officers wore red ribbons and red bracelets as part of our uniform. 
Monrovia schools have passed out red bracelets to children to encourage kids to support the 
fight against illegal drugs, alcohol, and tobacco use. 

Talk to your children early about drugs before they become involved, be involved in their lives, keep 
them occupied with activities, spend time with them, and know who their friends are. Drug abuse can 
start at a very young age, so you need to know who your children are with at all times. Peer pressure 
can cause even the most logical teenagers to fall victim to drugs. Let your child know that you don't 
want to see them hurt or in trouble, and explain that he or she should not use illegal drugs under any 
circumstances, and to do so will result in serious consequences. Teach your children to say "NO" to 
drugs. Parents are the most powerful influence in a child's life in preventing drug and alcohol use - so 
teach them early.
