Mission police officer urges high school students to avoid drugs, alcohol during spring break
Summary
Corporal Luis Gutierrez of the Mission Police Department delivered a short public-safety message to students at several local high schools encouraging sober, planned celebrations during spring break and asking peers to look out for one another.
Corporal Luis Gutierrez of the Mission Police Department urged students at Mission High School, Mission Veterans, Sherryland Pioneer and Sherryland High School to avoid drugs and alcohol during spring break and to make a safety plan before celebrating.
The message stressed the safety risks of impaired judgment and encouraged students to “make a commitment to celebrate responsibly and have a safe plan in place.” Gutierrez spoke directly to high-school audiences and repeated a concise slogan: “Stay smart, stay sober, make good choices that won't jeopardize your future.”
Gutierrez also urged students to intervene if they see friends using substances and to support one another: “Look out for yourself and each other,” he said, adding, “let's create unforgettable memories for all the right reasons.”
No statistics, enforcement actions, or specific local resources were included in the message. The remarks were a brief prevention-oriented public-safety announcement aimed at reducing substance-related harm over spring break.
