Second Annual Substance Abuse & Violence Policy Conference

June 14 & 15, 2011 
8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
At the Ontario Convention Center

The 2nd Annual Policy Conference is being held June 14th and 15th for attendees from throughout the Southern California region.  This influential conference will provide dynamic plenary speakers and proven strategies to address substance use (underage alcohol, marijuana, and prescription drugs), gangs, and violence through policy, prevention and intervention. Click here to see the agenda!  There will be four simultaneous tracks offered focusing on community, policy makers, youth and law enforcement; and importantly, there will be opportunity for all three tracks to interact to promote full community engagement. The Community track will provide vital information for youth, parents, educators, youth ministries and community members. Anyone who is working with youth needs to gain this education to be aware of the risks that are currently facing our young people every day.   The Policy track will emphasize the steps that local governments, key leaders and decision-makers, law enforcement, and local organizations can take to enact effective, proven policy strategies for substance use, violence and gangs.  Speakers in the policy track will provide methods that focus on cross-sectorial strategies to change community norms, reduce collective (community) risk, increase sector collaboration, and provide sustainable community change. The Law Enforcement track will be targeted specifically to officers working in gangs, drugs or ABC compliance and enforcement.  Departments will share their successful strategies for working not just within law enforcement, but engaging community groups to achieve their enforcement goals.  ABC POST certifications will be offered. Must complete all 8 hours of the training to get the POST certificate.  The Youth Policy track will teach youth how to: Identify an issue or concern in their community Conduct a community assessment Develop polices to effect change within their city and community Click here for full conference details or to register!
