Kentucky State Police

KENTUCKY STATE POLICE TROOPER ROBERT PURDY IS HERE TO TALK TO US ABOUT A SERIOUS MATTER.
TODAY’S TOPIC OF CONVERSATION IS CALLED………”HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT” AND IT FOCUSES ON DRUG & ALCOHOL TRENDS OF OUR YOUTH.

UNFORTUNATELY, TEENS OFTEN EXHIBIT SOME OF THE MOST RISKY BEHAVIOR WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER AGE GROUPS. DRUG AND ALCOHOL USE IS EVEN FURTHER ACCENTUATED WITH PEER PRESSURE AND THE IDEATION THAT DRUGS ARE BECOMING DECRIMINALIZED. IN ADDITION TO THEIR PERCEPTION OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY, THERE ARE ALSO NEW TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS IN THE DRUG AND ALCOHOL WORLD, WHICH MAKES DETECTION BY OTHERS MUCH HARDER. HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT IS DESIGNED TO EDUCATE COMMUNITY LEADERS, CAREGIVERS AND PROFESSIONALS WORKING WITH TEENS ABOUT SOME OF THE CURRENT DRUG TRENDS AFFECTING OUR YOUTH.
