The Drug Squad Talk is part of the prevention programme organised by the Education Anti-Substance Abuse Service.
This talk is delivered mainly to all Year 11 state school students yearly. This year, the speaker who delivered the talk at SGPC Hamrun SS was Sarg R. Gaffarena with the help of Cons J. Xuereb. The talk focuses mainly on the different local drug types and today’s trends. Real-life experiences from the drug squad police day-to-day service are also presented to the students.
Guidance teachers also assist in these talks to promote a healthy lifestyle away from substances. Moreover, guidance teachers support those students who are either at risk of substance abuse or are already misusing substances.
