drug use or risky behavior. DEA Special Agent Tim McMahon and Madison Police Department Narcotics Detective Ken Shannon provided the latest drug trends and powerful insights on what to look for in a teenager’s space.

The presentation was offered in partnership with the Madison Chatham Coalition (MCC) and Municipal Alliance Committee of the Chathams (MACC).
