A message from Jeff Kottkamp, Lieutenant Governor, State of Florida
Thank you for your letter outlining NOPE's efforts on substance abuse prevention. Col. Bill Janes has shared with me the good work of your organization. Law enforcement officers, legal and healthcare professionals, and loved ones see the effects of drug abuse everyday. Reaching out to students about the dangers of drug abuse by those who directly deal with drug abuse is not only a wise strategy, it is imperative.

A message from Director Bill Janes, Florida Office of Drug Control
I am writing to continue the support of the Florida Office of Drug Control for the Narcotic Overdose Protection and Education (NOPE) Task Force. During my recent visit, I was very impressed with the work the NOPE Task Force was doing and their obvious commitment to being a very effective prevention initiative in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. I believe their continued expansion will be invaluable to your region and our state.
