The Local Lens is a public health podcast going inside one community's experience with the drug epidemic. Everyone in the town of Stanton, KY sees this drug issue differently from each other, either because of their personal lives or professional roles. This show aims to showcase those different perspectives by having honest, in-depth interviews.
Rob Williams has been working in the police force in this region since the mid 1980's. Over the course of his career, he has learned that drug abuse is the root of roughly 90% of the crime in our area.
At some point, he changed his approach. He figured that if drug abuse is causing most of our crime, the best way to lower crime is to lower the drug abuse.
The best practice for keeping crime low may be to give people better chances to live healthy lives.
