You work for the police department’s Forensic Services unit. You often test materials to examine them for evidence of illegal drugs and substances. Your school district is considering adding a Random Student Drug Testing (RSDT) program to your high school. You have been asked to give a presentation to the high school students. You have decided to speak about RSDT and how the program can work to help decrease student drug use.

Background: Write a persuasive essay that explains the RSDT program and discourages high school students from taking illegal drugs and substances. Your explanation should focus on the positive aspects of the RSDT program. Provide your audience with the background they need to understand how serious the topic is and how your department views this.

Your argumentative writing piece should be about 300 words or about one page.
