Law Enforcement Against Drugs (LEAD) was developed to bring law enforcement drug-and-violence-prevention services to a new level within the Franklin Borough Police Department and the Franklin Borough School Community. The curriculum builds the framework for drug-free living through a fun and interactive journey of setting reachable goals, communicating effectively, and making responsible decisions. The program defines a sequential set of core components to develop students' social-emotional skills and reinforces those skills through interactive activities.
The curriculum highlights the negative effects of alcohol use, tobacco, and marijuana and other narcotics. Students master peer-pressure refusal strategies in order to stay true to the program. The Franklin Borough Police Department is determined to continue the battle against drugs, alcohol, and violence to ensure that the children of Franklin Borough grow up in a safe drug-free community.
