Governor’s Commission to Combat Drug Abuse

Comprehensive Community Plan 2

Plan Summary

Mission Statement: To provide a forum for the exchange of information related to tobacco, alcohol and other drugs in our county, thereby empowering communities to create change.

History: Partners for a Drug Free white County was formed for the purpose of uniting individuals, businesses and agencies within the county to create a forum for gathering and exchanging information related to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Furthermore, the goal of sharing this information was for the members of our community a safe, healthy, drug-free environment for our families. Partners for a Drug-Free White County are recognized as the Local Coordinating council (LCC) for the Governor’s Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana. The LCC holds six meetings a year to address community issues and solicit community involvement in the areas of prevention, treatment and law enforcement/justice. Since the formation of Partners for a Drug-Free White County, a countywide effort has been made to address substance abuse issues facing White County. White County has a population of 25,168 spread out over approximately 2,000 square miles. The median income is $40,707, yet 7% live below the poverty level. It is a rural, agricultural community, where recreation and tourism are major influences. Indiana Beach and other attractions bring over 1.5 million visitors to the county each year. This adds to the burden of additional substance abuse issues. Combatting the ATOD issues and the additional issues from tourism is a huge problem. There are four school corporations in the county. There is one county mental health agency and several private mental health providers. These agencies, the county social service agencies and law enforcement agencies have agreed to work closely with the LCC to address substance abuse issues. The focus of the LCC is coordination of services to combat the use and abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The first step in this battle is prevention and education programs. The coalition works with the four county schools, the local mental health agencies, law enforcement and the media to bring a comprehensive program to the community. Through programs presented to the youth in schools, be the various agencies, the students are being taught the necessary life skills to make healthy choices and to refuse involvement with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The next step is that Partners assist in coordinating the funding of programs focused on the identification of individuals who have problems with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. After these individuals are identified, services are provided for assessment and referral for treatment. Through the treatment assistance program funded by the LCC, all community members have access to treatment programs. Local law enforcement agencies are working hard to combat the ATOD problem in White County. Partners assist them in coordinating this battle and provide funding for needed equipment and manpower.


Summary of the Comprehensive Community Plan: The LCC had a committee that worked through Strategic Prevention Framework to create this Comprehensive Community Plan. That committee reviewed data to determine the problems in the county. They then took that information to the whole LCC to have them approve the direction they were taking. The committee then worked on goals and objectives. Again, those were submitted to the LCC for approval. The LCC reviewed the Compressive Community Plan when making grant decisions. In 2013, the LCC Coordinator asked all LCC members to provide data. She updated all supportive data and reviewed grant reports to include information in the objective update. The LCC reviewed the Comprehensive Community Plan Update and approved it.

This runs on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Tri-County received a grant for the “6 to 6” extended day program. It is an extended day program to provide professional academic support for those students with disciplinary issues. It’s a way to keep those students in an emotionally safe environment and is a means of working on social skills, appropriate choices, talk about peer-pressure, organizational skills. If these problems are not addresses it can lead to drug and alcohol use.


White County on Aging received a grant to offset the expenses incurred when they transport individuals on probation for their appointments with Wabash Valley Outpatient Clinic, court appearances and their drug tests. We were not able to do a PSA this year due to lack of funding. North White did the Break the Grey Program with their students. They put on together youth relevant presentations that include all grades. They use a multi-media approach that relates to students in today’s society.

We had our Third Annual Police Week as well as sponsoring the Police Memorial/Tribute Ceremony. The community and Officers both needed this. It was a way for us to show our support! It is important to memorialize all the men and women who wear a uniform and have lost their lives in the line of duty. This was our tribute to those officers who sacrifice their lives every day. And we wanted to make a point to let White county thank them for their service. And a way to lift the moral of the Officers in a time when the public viewed them in a negative way. Keynote speaker was Senator Hershman, who shared stories of local law enforcement officers who lost their lives while serving gin and around White County. The Chaplains were there and we had a singer to sing the National Anthem. The Honor Guard played Amazing Grace, Taps and we gave a 21 Gun Salute.

We had fifth graders from Twin Lakes, North White and Tri-County participates. We had each 5th grade


class design their classroom door. They had to work together and come up with a theme in regards to staying drug free. The Judges were Officers from the White County Sheriff Dept. There was one class room winner per school. The class that won received a $50 gift certificate to do as they see fit. We had a daily drawing for the High schoolers. Local businesses gave out gift cards and we purchased some Visa gift cards. This was a huge a success within the High schools.

5. Educational brochures were given out by the Reserves at the county fair. Final Update (end of Year 3): 1. This year we participated in the “Every 15 Minutes” program. This dealt with high school students as well as school officials, many agencies within our community. 2. We had several front page articles such as Top Cop, scholarship winners, Police Week, Police Memorial/Tribute Ceremony, Red ribbon Week. 3. We did not participate in any health fairs or booths. But we did sponsor once again our fourth annual Police Week and Memorial/Tribute Ceremony. As the previous years, we went in all 4 of the White county Schools and had Officers go in and speak to the children as well as did convos. In May, the second Sunday, we had our Fourth Tribute/memorial Ceremony for the Officers in White city as well as all the other counties’. We had our Senator Hershman as our guest speaker. Senator Hershman shared stories of local law enforcement offices and who have lost their lives while serving in and around White County. We had Chaplains there to pray and we had a singer to sing the National Anthem. The Honor guard played Amazing Grace. Taps and we gave a 21 gun Salute A meal was proved for the law Enforcement Officers and their families provided by Monticello Rotary club following the ceremony. Huge success and we will continue doing this. 4. The LCC did offer a #250 Scholarship to all four White County High Schools. There were guidelines the senior’s had to follow such as; be a graduating senior from a White County high school; be drug free; be enrolled in the high school drug testing pool; not have any D’s or F’s on report cards; not have any discipline issues; be actively involved in extracurricular activities; as well as write an essay of no more the 500 words.
