As part of its ongoing
efforts to reduce the use of illegal substances in the City of Fall
River,
Tobacco Control Coordinator
Marilyn Edge and
the B.O.L.D.Coalition made
a presentation to the Lower Highlands Downtown Historic Neighborhood
Association meeting on May 6, 2009. The purpose of the meeting was to
request the cooperation of the Association in ensuring that local store
owners continue to be in compliance with drug paraphernalia laws. In
early November, B.O.L.D. sent a
letter to
all retailers asking them to stop selling glass tubes and other
illegal paraphernalia in their stores.
During the month of
December, 2007, the
Southcoast Tobacco Control Collaborative and the
Fall River Police Department (FRPD)
held three different retailer training sessions at the Fall River Police
Department Headquarters
This session followed notices
sent to storeowners that these items have been deemed
in violation of state laws.
