D.A.R.E.
D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is a school-based drug
education program developed to help prevent drug abuse. This ten
(10) week program places uniformed officers in the city's elementary
schools' fifth grade classes, teaching children the facts concerning
drug and alcohol abuse and strategies on how to resist the temptation
to try them. This program also promotes self esteem and enhances
decision making skills. For more information please visit the
national D.A.R.E. website or
