Michigan Meth Watch

Allegan's involvement

Michigan Meth Watch is designed to limit easy access to methamphetamine precursors on store shelves, prevent theft and large purchases of products containing pseudoephedrine (a main ingredient used in the meth cooking process) and to protect Michigan retailers and employees from unwillingly becoming a "community supplier" in a drug manufacturing pipeline.

The Michigan Meth Watch Program supplies Michigan retailers and pharmacies with window decals, shelf stickers, cash register stickers, and other public awareness pieces announcing they are participating in the Michigan Meth Watch Program. In addition, many employees have been trained on what suspicious behavior and purchases to look for.

The target group consists of grocery markets, drug stores, convenience stores, auto parts stores, pet/farming supply stores, property managers. The strong community partnerships and proactive involvement of business owners and citizens have made this prevention program a success throughout the state of Michigan.
