Every 15 Minutes of Cowlitz County |
|
| Every 15 Minutes is an intense
two-day program designed to caution high school juniors and seniors
against the dangers of drinking and driving. Local law enforcement
meet and discuss with the students topics related to drinking, taking
drugs, and driving; they also talk about making mature, responsible
decisions when lives are at stake--whether it be their own, or someone
else's. The Every 15 Minutes program was started in Washington
state by the Spokane Police Department in 1990. Cowlitz County
started the program in 1996, and has been doing it at area schools every
year since 1996. Every year, the program is funded through donations from community organizations and individuals. This program is not funded by the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office, or other tax dollars, so your donations are what make this program successful. We'd be very appreciative of any financial help you can give. To see who's donated over the years, please check out the Sponsors page. If you are interested in keeping this successful program in Cowlitz County's high schools, please contact the Sheriff's Office at (360) 577-3092. |
