Henry County has a new community education program to reduce illicit drug use.

PACT 360 - Police and Communities Together is a law enforcement led community prevention education system designed to deal with existing drug issues and rapidly respond to emerging drug threats.

The goal is to help reduce illicit drug use and its accompanying criminal behavior thereby improving the safety and quality of life of the community. Initially focused on methamphetamine only, PACT 360 has been expanded to address all youth drug and alcohol issues and delivers research-based information and resources to parents and other caregivers to help them deal with these issues.

This group is a subcommittee of the Henry County Substance Abuse Coalition.
