Drug Abuse Resistance Education
The State College Police Department sends highly-trained
D.A.R.E police officers into area schools. Children in these classrooms build
the will power and self-confidence needed to say "no" to drugs. The
D.A.R.E. program follows a carefully structured curriculum, focusing on topics
such as personal safety, drug use and misuse, consequences of behavior,
resisting peer pressure, building self-esteem, assertiveness training, managing
stress without drugs, media images of drug use, role models and support
systems.
The officers assigned to area schools for the 2004-2005
