Many people might think law enforcement is the strongest weapon in the war on drugs, but according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, it's actually you.

Because of numerous drug busts in Central City, residents, religious leaders and police want help. Tuesday night, the DEA armed them with the best anti-drug weapon: education.

Tuesday night's presentation at Our Lady Queen of Angels Activity Center educated all in attendance through a real-life representation of what drugs do to society and what people can do to prevent it. The speaker, who is a special agent with the DEA, said recognizing the warning signs is key. He says the public has to alert law enforcement about the problem, so police can stop it.

"Too many people don't think we have a drug problem. The parents don't want to admit it," says resident Dianna Will.

"Terrorists and drug dealers are the same. They're destroying our country. We've got to put an end to it and we can't do it unless everyone's educated," says Special Agent Carl Giardinelli.

Some of those warning signs are: an increased crime rate (heroine increases it by 400 percent), mood swings, lying and an increase of new faces in town.
