The Sawyer County Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee met on April 9, 2025, to discuss several important topics related to local criminal justice initiatives. A key focus of the meeting was the introduction of a vaping education program aimed at addressing the rising concerns about vaping among youth in the community.

Committee members highlighted the need for educational resources to inform young people about the risks associated with vaping. The program is designed to provide information on health impacts, legal implications, and support for those seeking to quit. This initiative reflects a growing recognition of the challenges posed by vaping and aims to foster a healthier environment for the youth in Sawyer County.

In addition to the vaping program, the committee reviewed ongoing projects and discussed strategies for improving collaboration among local law enforcement, schools, and health organizations. The meeting underscored the importance of community engagement in tackling issues related to substance use and promoting public safety.

The committee plans to implement the vaping education program in the coming months, with the goal of reducing vaping rates among young people and enhancing overall community health. Further updates on the program's progress and effectiveness are expected in future meetings.
