a simple and timely method for area pharmacies to report suspicious
prescriptions to local law enforcement agencies.

cable and radio stations in an effort to increase awareness of
Partnership issues.

with information to be used in referring someone for this service.
- Speakers Bureau -- Speakers are available for
schools, churches, civic organizations, PTO's, employers, clubs
or any others wanting to learn more about the war on drugs.
