Drug Demand Reduction
Overview of Drug Demand Reduction
The Drug Demand Reduction Program is chartered with the responsibility to make CAP an environment that promotes and supports education, community involvement, social responsibility and respect for individuals. The DDR Program began in 1994 to support the "Air Force Family" within 30 miles of an Air Force installation. Since that time, the program scope has expanded to include the entire CAP organization with a special emphasis on the Cadet Program. The program has evolved into three areas:
- CAP School Program
- Education and Training
- Community Outreach Activities
CAP DDR Mission Statement
The Civil Air Patrol Drug Demand Reduction program assists squadrons, groups, wings, and regions to instill an aggressive, positive, drug-free attitude in Civil Air Patrol members, Air Force families, DoD civilians, and school-age children through a comprehensive program that:
- Promotes Civil Air Patrol as a positive community service lifestyle.
- Encourages youth to remain in school.
- Focuses on drug abuse education, prevention and awareness.
- Provides positive activities as an alternative to drugs and gang violence.
