A little bit about the program.......D.A.R.E. is a cooperative effort by the police, schools, parents, and the community. All four working together to help our children make the right choices concerning drug use.
One of the unique features of project D.A.R.E. is the use of uniformed police officers as instructors. D.A.R.E. officers are assigned to a classroom Beal. The officers selected for the program are talented in human relations and communication skills. The officers are specially trained to present a 17-lesson instructional unit, which culminates in a special graduation ceremony.
The need for an effective education program to inoculate students against the threat of drugs is critical to the well being of our children and their future. Such a program is a long-term commitment for the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office.
