D.A.R.E. is a collaborative effort by D.A.R.E. certified law enforcement officers, educators, students, parents, and the community. This educational program takes place in the classroom and focuses on four major areas:

1. Providing accurate information about drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
2. Teaching students good decision-making skills.
3. Showing students how to recognize and resist peer pressure.
4. Giving students ideas for positive alternatives to drug use.

D.A.R.E. Officers work with children to raise their self-esteem, teach them how to make decisions on their own, and help them identify positive alternatives to drugs. Through role-playing, the D.A.R.E. curriculum emphasizes the negative consequences of drug use, and reinforces the skills to resist peer pressure and intimidation.  

For more information about the D.A.R.E. program, please contact Officer Nowicki or the Muskego Police Department.
