Drug education is seen as the key for reducing the demand for drugs. The D.A.R.E. program is designed to be introduced to youth before they are exposed to drugs. The primary focus of the program is directed toward 6th graders. Introductory presentations also are given to kindergarten through 5th grade students. This program will expand into junior high and high schools as resources permit.

D.A.R.E. encourages students to have a more positive outlook toward law enforcement, school and home.

With the help of D.A.R.E., children become more self confident and cooperate with family members and their peers. This positive attitude will spread to all segments of society and eventually help to decrease friction between ethnic groups.
