| Communities
all across America are suffering from the plague of methamphetamine production
and usage. And these communities – many of which are rural and suburban –
are looking for effective and innovative ways to fight back against this
illegal menace. Meth Watch is the first national effort aimed at curbing the spread of
methamphetamines, and will provide a critical step in reducing the availability
of meth in communities nationwide. Started
in Kansas as a public-private partnership between law enforcement, state
officials, and the retail community, Meth Watch is designed to help curtail the
suspicious sale and theft of common household products used in the illicit
manufacturing of methamphetamine.
Meth Watch is a
voluntary program that involves a variety of people at the community and state
level, although retail involvement is the cornerstone of this program. This
web site provides states interested in learning more about the Meth Watch
program with the resources needed to implement and maintain a Meth Watch
program. |
