Education
Some of you may have already had D.A.R.E,
presentations in your classrooms, or you may
know a little about the program. The D.A.R.E
program was developed to help you avoid
involvement in drugs, gangs and violence.
A little history ...
D.A.R E. was founded in 1983 m Los Angeles,
About 70 percent of school districts throughout
the country have a D A.R.E. program, as do
more than 30 countries around the world
A specially trained police officer teaches
kindergarten to 12th-grade students how to
resist peer pressure and live drug- and
violence-free lives.
The program
D.A.R.E. was developed to help you learn
the skills to recognize and resist social pressures
to experiment with drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
In the 17 lessons of the program, kids learn
how to make decisions, work out problems and
to communicate better.
A D.A.R.E. officer...
Greg Layne is a police officer in Tremont,
a small town in central Illinois. He is also a
D A.R.E. officer.
Every Friday, Layne works with students in
three fifth-grade classes for about 45 minutes. In
addition to the classroom sessions, Layne visits
other classes and attends civic meetings to talk
about D.A.R.E.
Layne enjoys working with children, and he
says he wanted "the children to get to know me
and the police department better. I wanted the
kids to know that they had a friend."
In order to become a D.A.R.E. officer, Layne had
to go to the State Police Academy in Springfield,
Illinois, for an interview Then he had two weeks
of classroom training at the academy and visited
a classroom for one lesson plan.
"The kids have been very receptive of me and
the program," Layne says "It shows them ways
to be better people. It helps guide them through
tough times in their lives and gives them ways
to deal with them. It also shows them that the
police are here to help."
