Last month over 75 South Whidbey residents came together because they shared a concern about drug-use and the increase of prowlers and burglaries in local neighborhoods.  A follow-up meeting is now scheduled to delve deeper into understanding and acting upon this problem. Please attend this opportunity to hear from regional expert Steve Freng, Prevention/Treatment Manager for the Northwest High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area. The Northwest HIDTA promotes community coalitions, supports public awareness campaigns, and other initiatives to reduce substance abuse and prevent the initiation of drug use. There will be time for audience questions and answers. County and City leaders will also be available to talk about local efforts and provide updates from the last meeting.
