What D.A.R.E. is NOT


D.A.R.E. is not . . .

  • Scare Tactic
    • D.A.R.E. relies on accurate information and straightforward approach.
  • A “Witch Hunt”
    • D.A.R.E. Officers NEVER encourage students to “turn in” family or friends who may be breaking the law. D.A.R.E. students are taught to say “someone I know…” when sharing stories; never using real names.
  • “Hands on Drugs”
    • How drugs are used (methods) are not taught. Drugs are never taken into a classroom as part of D.A.R.E.
