Law Enforcement Administration Students attend a Drug Awareness Seminar

Constable Bobby Edwards, Royal Newfoundland Constabulary's Public Relations Officer, recently visited the Law Enforcement Administration class to present a "Drug Awareness" seminar.

This informative presentation gave students a clear perspective into the illegal drug's serious nature on people and communities. Yesterday's drugs were compared to high addictive and destructive human made designer drugs such as "Ecstasy", "Crystal Meth", and Anabolic Steroids.

Constable Edwards explained and illustrated the lengths drug traffickers will go to cultivate, process, cut, conceal, and distribute. It also was apparent all illegal or illicit drugs manufactured in clandestine labs have an ability to hook first time users, and eventually leading to more serious crimes to finance their drug habits.

The seminar concluded with the most important topic, "The Victim". Students saw the addicts, whom could be your brother, sister, son, daughter, or another relative, for which only 3% of addicts will recover from a drug addiction. Unless they get adequate drug treatment to overcome withdrawal symptoms, an addict's recovery is often temporary, as just the drugs on site or temptation could derail even most determined addiction fighters.

Even the innocent victims receiving chemical burns from "Meth Labs" were exposed to trace amounts of harmful substances with possible tragic consequences.

Law Enforcement Administration and Criminology Students attend Robert Gosse's CATSA Presentation

Have you ever experienced long waits at airport lines, feeling frustrated and wishing you were flying to your destination? Robert Gosse, Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) Regional Manager, says the reason for these long waits is to ensure all passengers are safe. Most of us recall the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and its horrific tragedies, and CATSA's role is to ensure it never happens again.

On March 16, 2009, Criminology and Law Enforcement Administration students and instructors attended Robert Gosse's CATSA presentation, and Andrea Hawkins, Screening Officer at the St. John’s International Airport. Mr. Gosse discussed the security evolution at airports across the country and today's security personnel are held at high esteem. The training involved with airport screening is consistent across the country; therefore, employees and their skills are “portable” nationwide. In other words, s person trained in Newfoundland and Labrador may transfer to any airport in the country.

CATSA is constantly evolving in regards to incorporating specialized equipment used at airports, and also proposed expansions into marine and bus services. As employers, this organization offers excellent health and pension benefits and screeners are fitted with their uniforms from day one and at no charge. As stated by Mr. Gosse, the philosophy of CATSA is, “Fair, Firm, and Friendly,” an attitude which applies to both passengers and staff.
