The Press Association report the views of Howard Roberts at the ACPO conference:
Drugs education is a “postcode lottery”, a top police officer has claimed.
Nottinghamshire Police Deputy Chief Constable Howard Roberts, vice chair of the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) drugs committee, said more needed to be done to prevent young people using drugs.
Speaking at the Acpo drugs conference in Cardiff, he said: “It should be unacceptable that the quality of drugs education for our young people is a postcode lottery.”
He went on to urge PCTs and and other health bodies to get involved with schools in delivering drug prevention programmes.
