Vision Statement
The “Partnership Carson City” anti-meth coalition is a community-wide effort to stop methamphetamine manufacturing, distribution and use in Carson City. Community and business leaders are connecting with law enforcement, local organizations, civic clubs, schools, businesses, churches and local, state and federal governments to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in all neighborhoods. Carson City will no longer be recognized as a “meth” traffic hub in northern Nevada, and will be a place where people are able to raise their children, live and work in crime-free settings.
Mission Statement
To prevent the devastating effects of methamphetamine in our neighborhoods through a grass-roots community-wide mobilization effort.
