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 Mississippians interested in learning more
about the Meth Watch program with the necessary resources.
