National Red Ribbon Week starts October 21st and runs through October 31st. It is a time we heavily participate in as this is an opportunity to focus on our drug demand reduction efforts. This time was created in memory of former Marine and DEA Agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camerena. Learn more at the following link:
