Due to the storm, Seabrook Police Department and Seabrook Watchdogs neighborhood watch rescheduled its free Drug Abuse and Narcotic Awareness program to Thursday, March 14. The program will run at Seabrook Public Library from 6 to 8 p.m., according to police Chief Lee Bitomske.
Present at the event will be professionals, such as a local pharmacist, who can answer questions from the public.
Bitomske said the event is not a “gripe session,” but an attempt to reach out to as many people as possible to educate them on drug abuse, with the hope of the community working together with authorities to help solve problems.
“Our goal is to curtail drug-related crimes and issues in our community by increasing people’s understanding of the types of drugs we’re seeing, the signs of abuse, how to report drug activity to the police and other matters related to drug abuse,” Bitomske said.
Seabrook Watchdogs is a citizen-driven, town-wide neighborhood watch organization supported by the Seabrook Police Department. For more information, email seabrookwatchdogs@gmail.com or visit Seabrook Watchdogs on Facebook and Twitter.
