The Door County Alcohol and Other Drug Coalition and the United Way of Door County are giving you someone to look up to when it comes to addressing that nationwide growth of substance abuse.

Officer Jermaine Galloway, better known as The Tall Cop, will be speaking at the Stone Harbor Resort Conference Center on what substance abuse looks like locally and what can be done to combat it. The course is designed for law enforcement, probation officers, educators, counselors, and concerned community members. Community Impact Coordinator Shauna Blackledge says areas like Door County have seen an uptick in substance abuse since the beginning of the pandemic.

Galloway will provide the drug training on May 4th from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Registration is required and you can sign up yourself beginning today by contacting Blackledge at the United Way.
