A division of drugs should established to enforce the be pro- the code and to faciiate rehabilitation, education. and prevention. PRESCRIPTION ONLY visions of licate prescriptions should be provided for all controlled drugs. Hypodermic syringes and needles should be put on a prescription only basis. The next session of the legislature should liberalize the search warrant procedure, the committee urged, Trip tr fori The committee also urged a broader statutory base for the use of grand jury indictment as opposed to preliminary hearings where ths is feasible. MERGE OFFICES was A j recommendation made to merge the district attorney and county attorney offices.; The overlapping jurisdiction of these offices frequently results in a lack of on cases filed and some cases failure to get the case properly filed in the follow-throug- h first place. ENFORCEMENT: LAW There is a difference of opinion as to whether or not there is adequate narcotic surveillance in Utr, said the com-i 1 1 e e report. However, There is little surveillance of the opiates and hard narcotics on a continuing basis, and there is also little surveillance attempted on the softer drugs, which enter the state by such various means as mail, bus, plane, etc. m PROBE DATA Indications are that the training of police officers has not yet reached the point where they are able to investigate and identify any valid information concerning the use of drugs effectively. There is evidence that various law enforcement agencies are doing fairly well with the facilities they have, and that all cases that are reported to them have been properly investigated. Under law enforcement, the committee recommended that steps be taken to shorten the time it takes for the case to be tried, provide law enforcement with all the tools and manpower necessary to prevent, control and apprehend, and prcv 'e more follow-uon cases in which the defendant is found not guilty. The committee urged that a police officer te assigned to each of the large high schools in the state, that officers be provided with enough money to make drug buys, and that means be provided to courts to distinguish between drug users who need to punished and those who need counseling and therapeutic assistance. ized. and the availability of additional counseling services at the junior high school level is imperative," the committee said. TEAM OF EXPERTS Specialized teams of experts, consisting of psychiatrists, doctors, sociologists, social workers and legal authorities, should be created and used throughout the state, for training on a mass basis, teachers and p students, parents. The committee also urged closer policing of schools and areas in close proximity, before school, during lunch periods, and after school. A REHABILITATION: drug offender in Utah, who is dependent upon drugs, has few opportunities to be assisted by doctors, psvchi-es- , counselors, directors of recreation, and teachers. At best, the drug offender will find himself committed by courts to an institution that endeavors to meet some of his needs, through offtimes ineffective programs." y The committee of state government by established and commissioned to direct all drug abuse programs, including u EDUCATION: There is a serious problem In the state involving all of the school districts, the subcommittee on drug abuse reported. The committee said it found that motivational reasons given for drug use included recom-agenc- rebelcuriosity, insecurity, lion, desire for status, and attempts to escape reality. Reasons given by students who were nonnsers included concern that drugs might do physical harm, the danger of becoming psychologically dependent on drugs, and that while under the influence of drugs, they might harm themselves or others. Fear of being arrested, of having a criminal record, the peer pressure, that use of drugs might interfere with school studies, and that drugs might lead to immorality also were reasons given for not using rehabilitation.

ESCAPE, REBEL In addition, students didnt have the feeling of insecurity, the need tc rebel, or the i eed to escape from reality, also were reasons given for not using drugs. The education committee drug report recommended that the most effective tools for teaching be sought and made available, that drug abuse instructions begin in the fifth grade and continue through junior and senior high schools. fr gurated for teachers to deal with drug abuse problems.
