1/19/11 - Hamburg Police Chief Steve Luciano presented certificates of appreciation to key members of the community at last night’s meeting of the Hamburg Township Board to recognize their contributions to the district’s anti-drug campaign. Those honored included members of the police staff, Livingston County Jail, and Pinckney School District, who collaborated to hold a drug education program within the community. The four-step program included courses for police officers, school employees, parents, and students, and has so far been given to more than 500 members of Pinckney’s student body. The course included meetings with heroin-users currently serving time in the Livingston County Jail. Police Chief Steve Luciano says the response from students and parents has been overwhelmingly positive, with the schools receiving numerous calls and emails giving feedback or reporting information. He also says that education, rather than enforcement, is the key to combating the drug issues facing the district.
