The Legislature finds that drug and alcohol abuse is one of the most critical problems facing law enforcement, education, and the social service agencies in the State of Oklahoma and that the problem continues to escalate, threatening the quality of life in our state, destroying the integrity of the family, disrupting the lives of children and adults, increasing crime, and creating a drain on the resources available to combat those many problems through the various state and local agencies in our state. In order to expand and enhance the ability of the state to combat the serious drug and alcohol problems, the Legislature finds that a centralized, well-coordinated statewide effort is necessary to curb both the supply of drugs and the demand for drugs and alcohol among Oklahomans, especially our youth, and that a statewide plan should be coordinated by the Attorney General of Oklahoma and developed by the various state and local law enforcement, education, and social service agencies in order to direct the efforts and activities of all entities that are involved in efforts against drug and alcohol abuse.
