ASO worked with the Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition of Alexandria and Alexandria City High School students to help keep kids safe from alcohol by participating in Project Sticker Shock on October 5. Sheriff Sean Casey joined SAPCA in kicking off Project Sticker Shock at the Del Pepper Center. This awareness campaign reminds adults about the consequences of buying alcohol for anyone under 21.

Sheriff Casey and Deputy Chavez (seen in this photo) were among those escorting students to stores throughout Alexandria so they could place window clings and stickers around beer and hard seltzer to warn adults not to purchase alcohol for teens or anyone underage.
