The Berne Police Department
and Parents unite against substance abuse.
Unfortunately, “friends” often try harder to make kids who say “no” to drugs, alcohol and tobacco feel like outcasts. Home testing kits have emerged that protect privacy and provide kids with a socially acceptable excuse, “my parents test me.”
For years, police have been the first to know when local kids used drugs while their parents were often the last to know. We found a way to work together and can turn that around.
Chief Timothy Taylor recently announced a new alliance with TestMyTeen.com, an organization that has donated over $5,000 worth of free home drug test kit vouchers to be shared anonymously with parents who need them.
Schools, police, community leaders and parents can now work together to ensure safer schools and homes. Kids can use it to prove their trustworthiness to their parents and

dissolve unwanted pressure from peers.
Private and confidential vouchers for free test kits are available electronically by visiting the Berne Police Web site. Answers to frequently asked questions about home-based substance abuse testing are available at:
