D.A.R.E.

The Sheriff’s Office offers the D.A.R.E.curriculum to sixth-grade students in 10 Shawnee County elementary schools.

The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program is a substance use prevention education program designed to equip elementary school children with the skills necessary to help them make healthy choices and to resist peer pressure to experiment with tobacco, drugs, and alcohol. This unique program uses uniformed law enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to students in a classroom setting.

The D.A.R.E. program has one full-time and two part-time instructors. The D.A.R.E. program is taught to over 600 sixth-grade students every year and is offered in the Seaman, Shawnee Heights and Kaw Valley School Districts.
