The Tall Cop - March 2022 Newsletter- THE BEST DRUG TRENDS

From the Desk of the Tall Cop

In this month’s tall cop opinion piece, I wanted to provide a quick snap shot of what I am seeing during environmental scans in retails stores.

OVER THE COUNTER (LEGAL) INHALERS TO GET HIGH?

You may be asking, “What is the deal with Inhalers and why are some so popular?” As we head into the warmer weather, some of you may be seeing more inhalers, whether it be in youth bedrooms, in the classroom, or on a traffic stop. In all actuality, inhalers have been popular for quite a few years and are items that can be purchased for low price points, or simply stolen. Continue Reading...

"Thank you so much for a fabulous presentation to our staff. It definitely was an eye opener for us and what we need to watch for. Ironically, today in the high school office I was waiting with a few students. I casually asked, hey you know what lean is? Guess what one said oh yeah. It was started in Houston. It's a double cup, purple drank! I said so what is it? He said that cough syrup drink. So yes, our students are in the know! I am glad we are in the know now too! ...Thank you for investing in our students by sharing your knowledge. We will work to make a change for the better for our students and our community!"

"I wanted to say thank you for the training yesterday in (Oklahoma). It was more than I expected! I appreciate how knowledgeable you are and how you presented things….

Thank you again, I probably didn't know 98% of what you presented, when I once considered myself a little knowledgeable and up to date on things. I know now what to look for."

"Mr. Galloway, this was the most informative and one of the best seminars that I have had the pleasure to attend. Thank you"

-Mental Health Clinician (Youth & Family Center) Texas

"I just attended a webinar this morning. This was by far the most useful and understandable webinar dealing with substance abuse I have ever attended. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!"

-Kentucky

"I thought the Feb 10 webinar was very educational. I am a new SRO and have never seen or heard of a great deal of what you covered."

-School Resource Officer-Kentucky

"Thank you so much for your amazing presentation today. Most teacher trainings I have been through have only a very small amount of useful or relevant information, but your presentation today was fantastic. I walked away with several pages of notes that I will be sharing with many people I know."

-Attendee

"Thank you so much Oh, and I have to thank you because I found my daughter's vape and I would have NEVER known to be concerned about it nor had the information about it if I hadn't been to your trainings before. I have been able to raise the level of concern on parents in our community and with my principal and we are just beginning to implement a drug test program. Thank you for that..."

"While the majority of teen relationships are fairly normal, teen dating violence is probably more common than you think.

According to the CDC's Youth Risk Behavior Survey and the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, almost 1 in 11 female and 1 in 14 male high schoolers say they experienced physical dating violence in the last year.

When you add drugs to the equation it can make things worse."
