LUCENA CITY, Quezon - Empowering the next generation of female law enforcers, the Lucena City District Jail Female Dormitory took a proactive step in community engagement by recently conducting an insightful drug awareness seminar for the fourth-year criminology students of St. Ann College Lucena Incorporated.

The core of the seminar revolved around a comprehensive discussion on prohibited substances, with a significant focus on elucidating the profound negative consequences associated with drug use. Jail Officer Tiñana meticulously detailed the severe health ramifications that drug abuse can inflict, particularly emphasizing the vulnerability of young individuals to these dangers. Beyond the immediate physical harm, she underscored the long-term damage drugs can inflict on the aspirations and future paths of these students.



In a bid to foster prevention and empower the students, JO1 Tiñana shared practical and actionable strategies to avoid the pitfalls of illegal drug involvement. Furthermore, she passionately urged the college students to actively collaborate with the government in its ongoing campaign against drugs. She highlighted the importance of translating the knowledge acquired during the seminar into tangible actions within their own lives and communities.

The successful culmination of this drug awareness endeavor was met with sincere appreciation from the leadership of St. Ann College Lucena Incorporated.
