Since prevention and education
play a major role in countering crime, the Norfolk FBI has committed
itself to an active Community Outreach Program that works with our community,
law enforcement, schools, businesses, and other local, state, and federal
agencies to disseminate educational materials and sponsor prevention
programs, speeches, and events.
Since 1988, the Norfolk FBI has been involved in the Drug Demand Reduction
Program (DDRP), a national program in which the Norfolk FBI works with
the community to reduce the demand for illegal drugs in Hampton Roads.
One major annual event, the Race Against Drugs, combines high-speed
racing on Hampton Roads waterways with the drug free message. This national
drug prevention program, sponsored by the FBI, the National Child Safety
Council, and 21 of the nation's largest race organizations, allows sponsoring
agencies, race promoters, and drivers to join the FBI in alerting children,
teenagers, and their parents about the dangers of illegal drug use.
