Talbot Partnership for Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Prevention reminds Talbot County residents that Talbot County has a TIP LINE for reporting underage alcohol parties. The Tip Line is anonymous and will be administered and responded to by local law enforcement.
Talbot County has a phone line for people to give information about underage drug/alcohol activities. Everyone is encouraged to call their local police directly or to call 410-820-4003 with information about underage drug/drinking parties or about neighborhood disturbances. The phone line is provided through the Talbot County Emergency Management Agency.
As students return to school parents are again reminded that underage drinking and drug use can lead to severe and tragic consequences including car crashes, injuries, rape, teen pregnancies, sexual assault, suicide, alcohol poisoning, alcohol dependency, overdoses and death. It is illegal for any adult to host an underage drinking party or to purchase or supply alcohol for persons under 21 years or age, even with their parents permission.
Together we can help keep our children safe and prevent tragedies related to alcohol or other drug use.
For additional information on what parents can do to help their children avoid the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, contact Talbot Partnership at 410-819-8067. Please also visit our website at www.talbotpartnership.org or find us on Facebook.
