This guide was not created from a desk, a lab, or a textbook. It was built from thousands of hours of real-world, “Boots On The Ground” experience. For more than 25 years, Jermaine Galloway has had the privilege of traveling across the country, working alongside law enforcement, educators, prevention specialists, and community leaders to identify and respond to emerging drug trends as they happen — not after the fact.
Throughout his career, Tall Cop Jermaine Galloway has made it a priority to stay ahead of traditional bulletins and reports. By the time information is widely published, the landscape has often already shifted. That is why this guide focuses on what is happening right now, what is showing up in communities, schools, and on the streets, and why these trends are gaining traction.
As the co-founder of the Tall Cop Emerging Drug Trends Conference, Jermaine has brought together professionals from across disciplines to share knowledge, strategies, and real-time observations. This guide reflects that same mission: providing practical, relevant, and immediately applicable information that goes beyond scientific explanations and dives into the “where,” “why,” and “how” behind today’s drug trends.
Inside this resource guide you will find:
• 24+ different drug types
• 40 pages of current, real-world information
• Various drug classes impacting both youth and adults
• Real “Boots On The Ground” photos from across the country
• Quotes, insights, and observations from professionals in the field
• Emerging trends, products, concealment methods, and cultural references
• Practical information designed for educators, law enforcement, prevention specialists, parents, and community leaders
This is more than a reference guide, it is a practical tool built to help communities recognize, understand, and respond to today’s rapidly evolving drug landscape.
