Please join us in congratulating our 2 newest D.A.R.E. Instructors!
School Resource Officer(SRO) Deputy Nate Sayers(right) and Patrol Deputy Luke Haffner(left) completed an intense 2 week training course earlier this month and are ready for the 2024-2025 School Year. SRO Sayers will be teaching the D.A.R.E. curriculum at Tri-Central Community Schools where he currently serves as the SRO, while Deputy Haffner will instruct at Tipton Community Schools Corporation.
The D.A.R.E. Lessons are taught at the 5th Grade Level in both schools.
“D.A.R.E. IS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION EDUCATION AND MUCH MORE!
This year millions of school children around the world will benefit from D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), the highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence.
D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 and has proven so successful that it has been implemented in thousands of schools throughout the United States and many other countries.
D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.”
