DEA begins drug education initiative in Wichita, other cities
The federal Drug Enforcement Administration is starting a new initiative aimed at educating young people about the dangers of illicit drugs. The program is called Operation Engage, and it will be aimed at reducing levels of drug use, drug abuse and overdose deaths.
The DEA Resident Agent in Charge, Greg Anderson, said Wichita is one of 11 regions in the country chosen to take part in the new program. He said the program will focus on opioids and methamphetamine abuse.
Anderson said the group will be working with the Wichita Metro Crime Commission and community groups like League 42, the Boy Scouts, Girls on the Run, and the Wichita Athletics Track Club. He said the efforts will support youth, reduce drug use and help make the community a better place to live.
