Police REACT to drugs issues with NCFE qualifications
Dromore's Neighbourhood Policing Team has beefed up its drug awareness by successfully completing the NCFE Level 1 Certificate in Drugs Awareness with local drug and alcohol project, REACT Ltd.
Local officers examined the factors influencing young people's attitudes towards drugs, the harmful effects of drugs on a community and appropriate responses to drugs misuse. The NCFE course is ideal for any community or statutory group keen to strengthen its knowledge on drug and alcohol misuse issues.
Dromore police seargeant, Paul Ferguson, said the course had given officers a better grasp of the issues young people face:
"This training has provided the Neighbourhood Policing Teams with a more extensive knowledge of the social effects of drugs and alcohol misuse therefore enabling us to have a better understanding of the issues which affect young people."
