DARE - Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program
DARE is a program that teaches students about the consequences of drug use and techniques to help resist peer pressure. The students are encouraged to develop good self- esteem and get involved in positive activities. Lessons about managing stress, resolving conflicts peacefully and developing decision-making skills help our young people avoid situations that could lead to criminal activity or victimization. Each student will “TAKE A STAND” and make a personal commitment to avoid drugs and violence. The DARE Officer encourages students to follow through with the commitment they made to themselves, their families, and their community to stay drug and violence-free. Learn More
GOOD SAMARITAN LAW - Incentive to seek emergency help and treatment to overcome addiction
Possession of Heroin or Fentanyl or the criminal tools associated with their use (ie: syringes), is an F5 Felony. An individual that has an overdose event that requires the use of medical intervention to reverse the overdose (Narcan) can choose to obtain an assessment for drug treatment and receive a referral for treatment. Individuals choosing to do so within 30 days of their overdose event can have their charges set aside. This immunity from prosecution is available two times. It is not available to those on probation and parole, and it does not apply to drug charges beyond possession, such as trafficking or OVI. The Good Samaritan Law was enacted in Ohio in Sept. 2016. The new law can be found in the Ohio Revised Code: ORC 2925.11 (B)(2)(b) “Possession of Controlled Substance”
