Your Total Security Solution
Keeping our Schools Drug Free
Drugs are life-threatening problems in our schools.
Drug use results in an increase in crime and a lowering of overall
student performance. Research by the National Institute on Drug
Abuse (NIDA), from 1991 to 1996, shows the percentage of 8th
graders having used illegal drugs has approximately doubled. During
the same 5 year period, there was an approximate 50% increase in
use for 10th and 12th graders.
In addition, as reported in too many recent news stories of student
deaths in schools, firearms are an ever-increasing threat. Drugs and
firearms are usually linked, with drugs preceding violence.
Illegal drugs and firearms present a problem for teachers,
administration, and most importantly, for students. Undoubtedly your
school has tried any number of different solutions, but is still seeking a
solution that has a strong initial impact, and an ongoing impact, on
students and personnel
Our service is available to assist you in establishing and maintaining a
drug free and firearm free learning environment.

Keeping Our Community Drug Free
Parental Solutions to your children's contraband and substance abuse are here.
Are you concerned that your children may be using drugs? Hiding alcoholic beverages? Are there friends hiding drugs in your garage?
What about firearms? We know that every child is exposed to these contraband items on an all-to-frequent basis both at schools and
at other activities away from home. Children feel safe at home, and if these activities are occurring, they usually will have contraband
hidden in the house, or in their vehicle.
Ensuring a contraband-free environment is not as difficult as one would think. However, our program offers you the ability to recognize,
understand, and evaluate your home safety risks. Our inspections are unexpected and unannounced to the child and can be randomly
scheduled by you or done on a regular basis. Peace of mind is important in today's society. We help by providing insight, advice, and
guidance when facing the risks that adolescent children, whether yours or others, bring to a home.
We often wonder if questioning our child's honesty or subjecting them to a drug test will diminish their ability or desire to resist peer
pressure and impulse. Yes, as parents we should be involved in teaching and raising our children and instilling them with skills to resist
all of the negative influences that they are continually bombarded with. Though we also understand that we cannot be continually
looking over their shoulder, we can come to your home and offer you peace of mind with minimal, if any, noticeable impact on our child.
