There is a growing concern of drug abuse in secondary schools where consumption of narcotics including; Cannabis and kanyanga are very prevalent.
The Police will reach out secondary schools students through awareness campaign against drug abuse and alcohol consumption.
The campaigns are aimed at encouraging the youth to refrain from drug trafficking and consumption that are harmful to their lives and instead shift their focus towards national development.
The campaign is part of the Police week, an annual event marked by many activities countrywide aimed at supporting the public in different areas.
Over the two-week course, a series of activities have been organized by the Police force and local authorities to support the population on issues relating to economic development and improved human security.
The 2012 Police week focuses on the eradication of drug abuse and gender based violence. These two are big issues that Police hopes to address in the interest of the population especially the youth.
