Welcome
Southeast Missouri
State University is honored to partner with Midwest HIDTA, the late Governor Carnahan and
the Missouri Department of Public Safety in the development and implementation
of this project. The university is
committed to delivering professional service to our region, the state of
Missouri, and other regions throughout the United States.
The
manufacture, distribution and use of methamphetamine threaten the quality of
life in many communities. Law
enforcement agencies have taken an aggressive posture
in combating the meth problem. The
education community can lend support by developing and delivering programs
informing students, teachers and parents about the myriad of dangers
associated with methamphetamine.
The
Department of Criminal Justice, the Office of Continuing Education and the
Regional Professional Development Center are well-respected throughout the
region. These three organizations bring professional experience, moral
commitment, and personal initiative to the fight against meth.
Their cooperation on MEDFELS exemplifies the university’s tradition
of addressing societal issues through cooperative venture.
Please take the time to view all portions of the web site.
Feel free to contact the members of the MEDFELS team for further
information or for assistance in bringing the MEDFELS program to your
children, school or community.

Kenneth W. Dobbins, President
