DEA's Community Outreach Section
DEA recognizes that not only reducing the quantity (supply) of drugs is essential to a safe and drug free country, but also reducing the desire (demand) for illicit drugs is a vital component to effectively reduce drug use in our Nation. For that reason, DEA created the Community Outreach Section as a critical complement to our primary law enforcement mission and included drug use prevention as one of the seven priorities in DEA’s vision:
"Support initiatives to reduce the demand for drugs and give
assistance to community coalitions and drug prevention initiatives."
Operation Prevention, operationprevention.com is an initiative brought to you by the DEA and Discovery Education to educate elementary, middle, and high school students about the true impacts of prescription opioid misuse and heroin use.
DEA’s website for teens, justthinktwice.com provides credible information about the harmful effects of drug use. The site includes information about various drugs, including facts and fiction about drugs, the consequences of drug use, as well as topics about addiction, impaired driving, and true stories about teens that have had drug problems.
DEA’s website for parents, getsmartaboutdrugs.com provides valuable drug education information for parents, educators, and caregivers to further help identify drug use, drug paraphernalia, warning signs of drug use, and the harmful side effects of the most commonly abused drugs.
DEA’s website, campusdrugprevention.gov was created to support drug abuse prevention programs on college campuses and in surrounding communities. In addition, it serves as a useful tool for college students, parents, and others involved in campus communities.
