The Sun report on a speech given by Gordon Brown:
Mr Brown told the annual conference of the Association of Chief Police Officers:
“It is now time for a radical review of our anti-drugs strategy.
“Drug education needs to reach children at an earlier age, in primary schools as well as secondary schools.”
A new anti-drug strategy will need to include every section of society and role models from all walks of life – including sport, music and business – to persuade people that drugs are not the answer but the problem.”
Police should also play a role inside more schools to help teachers keep pupils out of trouble, he told the audience of chief constables and other senior police officers.
“I want to look at bringing neighbourhood policing teams into our schools so we can tackle bullying and disorder, both inside and outside the school gates,” Mr Brown said.
