Tall Cop Boots On The Ground™ Newsletter

Happy July from Tall Cop Says Stop™!

Earlier this month, the Tall Cop team gathered in person for our annual retreat. We spent two productive days planning, collaborating, and mapping out the next year and beyond for Tall Cop Says Stop™ and the Tall Cop Speakers Network. We left energized and excited about what's ahead.

Today's Information Prevents Tomorrow's Tragedies, continues to guide everything we do. This year, we're expanding our educational resources and training opportunities to help you bring the latest prevention information and strategies back to your schools, organizations, and communities. Whether through in-person events or virtual training, we're committed to providing practical, up-to-date education that makes a difference.

One project we're especially excited about is the upcoming publication of the Tall Cop Boots on the Ground™ Drug Resource Guide.

This comprehensive resource is being developed to provide current drug trends, prevention strategies, and practical information that professionals can use every day. We can't wait to share it with you and know it will become another valuable tool in your prevention efforts.

We're also excited to share that our refreshed Tall Cop Speakers Network webpage is almost ready to launch! Every speaker in our network is carefully sourced, vetted, and trained by Tall Cop. What truly sets our network apart is that every presentation is customized to meet the unique needs of your organization or community. There are no canned presentations, and no two Tall Cop or Speakers Network presentations are ever alike. Every audience deserves current, relevant information delivered in a way that addresses their specific concerns and goals. Our new webpage will make it easier than ever to find the right speaker for your event, with the confidence that every presenter delivers the trusted, cutting-edge information you've come to expect from Tall Cop Says Stop™.

Thank you for being part of our mission. We look forward to continuing to work alongside you as we equip communities with today's information to help prevent tomorrow's tragedies.

Thank you for your continued support, and I hope you enjoy this month's edition of Boots on the Ground™.

Stay safe,

Officer Jermaine Galloway

Tall Cop Says Stop™ July Highlight!

I spoke at the CADCA (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America) National Conference in Orlando, where I connected the dots between alcohol, street drugs, opioids, and the growing trend of substances being sold in gas stations and convenience stores. During the 90-minute session, I covered more than 200 slides packed with current drug trends, emerging products, and real-world examples from communities across the country. The response was incredible, the room was filled to capacity, with attendees lining the walls and even sitting on the floor to hear the latest Boots on the Ground™ information. It was a great opportunity to help prevention professionals, educators, law enforcement, and community leaders better understand the rapidly changing drug landscape.

The Tall Cop Speakers Network Spotlight:

Rebecca Chiasson

When it comes to understanding today's ever-changing drug landscape, few professionals bring the scientific expertise and real-world experience of Rebecca Chiasson.

As the Chemistry Manager at the Louisiana State Police Crime Lab, Rebecca is a nationally respected expert in forensic drug chemistry, toxicology, and emerging synthetic drugs. She has testified as an expert witness in both state and federal courts and serves on multiple state committees and task forces focused on drug policy, public health, and impaired driving.

Rebecca is on the front lines of identifying new synthetic substances before they become widespread threats, helping professionals understand what is emerging, how these substances impact communities, and what the latest toxicological data reveals about polydrug use. Her engaging presentations translate complex scientific information into practical knowledge that law enforcement, prevention, treatment, and community professionals can immediately apply.
