‘Not My Kid’
To help the youth in our community, as part of a national substance abuse prevention awareness campaign called “Not My Kid,” Deputies Rick Cordero and Justin Martin have offered their time and expertise to this program. Both Cordero and Martin have shown the desire to inspire positive life choices for our youth.
Not My Kid is a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower and educate youth, families, and communities with the knowledge and courage to identify and prevent negative youth behavior such as substance abuse.
As part of the campaign, the Sheriff’s Youth Foundation has partnered with Not My Kid and provided Avalon Station with a supply of “First Check” home diagnostic testing kits.
Parents will be encouraged to use these kits as a positive prevention tool along with substance abuse prevention strategies and a family drug prevention plan. If you suspect your child is using drugs and would like our help, please contact Deputy Cordero or Detective Martin at Avalon Sheriff’s Station.
