#NOTEVENONCE
#NOTEVENONCE is an interactive course that is a collaborative effort between law enforcement and educators with the goal of informing students about the dangers of opiates before they leave for college or enter the work force. This program, which meets all of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Health Education curriculum, is taught to students during their senior year of high school. The primary goal of the program is to educate students about opiate abuse and provide them the tools and life skills that they need to make better decisions.
The program, #NOTEVENONCE, touches on a common theme officers often hear when they speak with a person addicted to opiates — if they hadn’t of tried opiates even once, they never would have become addicted and encountered the numerous health, legal, and social issues that are associated with opiate addiction.
Sergeant Kenneth Hager has been the Spring Lake Heights Police Department’s representative since the fall of 2016. He, along with officers from the police departments that serve the residents of the Manasquan High School sending districts including the Avon By The Sea, Belmar, Lake Como, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, Sea Girt and Brielle Boards of Education present this week long course multiple times throughout the school year to Manasquan High School’s senior class.
