BROMYARD'S successful anti-drugs campaign is to be taken over by the local police beat managers.
The STAR programme has been popular in the town's schools over recent years with its message to 'stop and think' about using illegal substances.
But Hereford-based officers will no longer be coming out to take the sessions. Instead, PCs Richard Shakespeare and John Bridges will keep the message alive with a series of workshops.
"STAR is undoubtedly an important element in the ongoing strategy of combating the effects of drugs in our society," said Superintendent Guy Rutter.
"I am personally very excited by the possibility of having a dedicated team able to commit far more time to this."
