Warning Children About The Dangers of Drugs & Alcohol

The Dalton Police Department took part in Red Ribbon Week for the Dalton Public Schools.  Officer Abe Chiesa visited Park Creek Elementary on Wednesday.  He spoke to the students about the dangers and side effects of drugs and alcohol. 

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country.  It serves as a vehicle for communities to take a stand against drugs through a commitment to drug prevention and education, and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of a drug free America.
