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.
