OVERVIEW OF DARE
D.A.R.E - Drug Abuse Resistance Education
DARE began in 1983 as a joint program between the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School District. The program, currently headquartered in Los Angeles was designed to help combat the growing problems of drugs, gangs and violence. Today DARE is taught in more than 52 countries with over 49,000 officers and has had more than 33,000,000 graduates since its inception.
The emphasis of DARE is to help students recognize and resist the many direct and subtle pressures that influence them to experiment with alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalants or other drugs or to engage in violence.
