The Pella Community School District and Pella Police Department are working together and with other partners in the community to fight an increase in teenagers using drugs.

Recently, the police department made multiple arrests of students for possession of drugs and those accused of distributing them to students. Superintendent Greg Ebeling tells KNIA/KRLS News they are seeking solutions to prevent students from falling into dangerous habits. Police Chief Robert Bokinsky says it’s on the parents and the rest of the community to help them find those dealing drugs to teenagers. Hear more on today’s In Depth with Dr. Bob Leonard.
