The Attorney General's Office launched the “Operation: Allied Against Meth” initiative last spring with presentations to four high schools across the state.
McKenna will continue the tour throughout the school year, partnering with Lead On America and other community-based organizations and industry associations to raise awareness and prevent use of methamphetamine.
McKenna has also convened the “Operation: Allied Against Meth” task force, a group of legislators, policy makers, industry representatives, treatment providers and law enforcement personnel, who are working together to devise state policy initiatives to increase cooperation across jurisdictions and improve the state’s ability to combat meth use.
As Attorney General, he hired two new prosecutors to help counties attack the rising number of meth-related crimes.
