During the month of October, Lower Cape May Regional High School Resource Officer Michael Perry, of the Lower Township Police Department, instructed 10th grade drivers education students on the effects of alcohol and drug, as well as provided an overview of DWI laws.

This was accomplished by having students perform simple tasks; for example, simple balance and coordination tests.
