Please forward the below, with attachmenets, to your SROs for their consideration. See you this summer in Reno at the NASRO conference, my 17th consecutive national conference. Thanks... MD
Please see www.MAD-DOG.ORG, for information on a proven effective drug prevention program available to your schools. The STRAIGHT TALK OUTREACH PROGRAM (S.T.O.P.) has been in over 1600 junior & senior high schools and colleges across America since its' inception in November 1994, with an exceptional record of success at reaching young people and effecting their lives in a positive manner, without one complaint or negative comment. S.T.O.P. has garnered the accolades and support of numerous agencies across the country, including The United States Congress, The California State Legislature, The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, The Los Angeles County Cheriff's Department's V.I.D.A. program (Sgt. Mark Cripe), The L.A.P.D.'s "Gangbusters" program, The National Association of School Resource Officers (N.A.S.R.O.), including their Executive Director, Mo Canady, as well as former Arkansas Governor (and Presidential Candidate) Mike Huckabee, and many, many more. S.T.O.P. has been invited as a presenter and exhibitor to the N.A.S.R.O. national conference for 16 consecutive years, which is no small thing for an ex-convict. I talk about all the things the drug dealer does NOT want young people to think about, and give them the inside details of daily life in prison for a young person who makes a poor choice. I talk about the scientifically proven long-term physical and mental side-effects of drug and alcohol use, and the things that drug/alcohol use and involvement did to my life, and the lives of others I have known. I speak from first-hand personal experience, having spent 10 years, 8 months and 11 days in state and federal prisons on a laundry list of drug and alcohol related charges. I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! There is NO obscenity, NO glorification of illegal activity, and there is NO "sugarcoating"... I tell it like it REALLY is. They will hear the reality of the consequences of making a bad choice regarding drugs and/or alcohol. They'll learn that the choices that can change their lives forever will come from someone they know and trust... not a stranger. I guarantee that S.T.O.P. will change the way all of your young people think about drugs/alcohol, and... it will change the way some of them act. And, I will make you a promise that you will NEVER hear from another speaker... When I am done, at the end of the day, if you are not satisfied with my efforts, you don't have to pay me! Please feel free to contact anyone on the attached reference list, or me ( maddogusmc@centurytel.net or by phone at ( 417 ) -538-4321 office, or 230-0225 cell ), with any questions or concerns you may have. Contact me for additional references, if you wish, I have over 1600. The attachments include a list of references, comments from some of those references, and a "Fee Schedule", which is usually sent out by the speaker's agencies that represent me to schools across the country, however... the last paragraph (which I added) is the one that applies to your schools, "whatever your school(s) can afford" is EXACTLY what I mean. To me, the message to the kids is much more important than the money. You can access further information, including scheduling and booking information by contacting me. I look forward to coming to your area and bringing your young people a message on "Choices" that can save their life, and that they will NOT forget. Thank you for your time and consideration. In closing, I remain...
