Red Ribbon Campaign

The Duluth Police Department, in partnership with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration, is participating in the annual Red Ribbon Campaign. This campaign not only highlights the importance of a drug-free lifestyle, but also honors Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Agent (DEA) special Agent who was killed by drug traffickers in 1985.

Throughout the week of October 23 - 31, Duluth Police squad cars will be seen with a red magnet on them. These magnets were donated by the DEA and help encourage those in our community to promote a drug-free lifestyle. It’s also a reminder to those who suffer from substance use disorders that there are multiple resources in our community.

For more information on the Red Ribbon Campaign, you can visit the DEA’s website by going here: https://www.dea.gov/redribbon.
