Amman: An event presented by the Information and Community Police Directorate, in collaboration with the Anti-Narcotics Department, took place on the campus of Middle East University. It focused on the extended impact of drug use on the safety and security of the community system, as a society that is peaceful and pure provides a favourable environment for promoting physical and mental health.
The event was attended by the Vice President of the University, Prof. Ahmad Allouzi; the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Mahmoud Al-Duwairi; the Director of Information and Community Police Department, Colonel Mahmoud Al-Shiab; a representative of the Anti-Narcotics Department, Lieutenant Colonel Imad Al-Saqrat; and a group of officers and non-commissioned officers.
This was followed by a theatrical presentation by the Police Theatre Troupe of the Public Security Directorate, which addressed the role of drugs in deteriorating public health, increasing addiction rates, and exacerbating mental health disorders.
The performance demonstrated the catastrophic impact of drug use on public health, portraying it as a silent killer, a puppeteer behind the rising tide of addiction. With each scene, the layers of deception were revealed, exposing the deep wounds inflicted on individuals, families, and communities alike.
The theatre performance placed the audience in the position of the shattered dreams, which had caused life to deviate from its intended course, and presented drug addicts as a narrative of destructive pleasure and righteousness.
