The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) begins its annual Red Ribbon Campaign on October 18, 2004. Together with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office drug prevention program, Drug Free Arizona, DEA representatives will work in local communities to spread a strong anti-drug message. During the campaign, more than 8,000 ribbons will be distributed to schools across the state.

Red Ribbon Week is nationally recognized and celebrated each year in the United States. It is a symbol of support for DEA’s efforts to reduce demand for illegal drugs through prevention and education programs. Red Ribbon Week pays homage to Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in support of our nation’s struggle against drug trafficking and abuse. By wearing a red ribbon during the last week of October, Americans demonstrate their ardent opposition to illegal drug abuse and trafficking, as well as those who profit from it.
