RECOMMENDATION DATE : MAY 15 L301 FILE: SUBJECT- Proposed Resolution REFERENCES. Drug Abuse Resistance City Manager Education (D.A.R.E.) Program ENCLOSURES It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the funding of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program, and allocating funds therefor, in an amount not to exceed $48,000. Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, U. S. Department of the Treasury, Project Number 690003. BACKGROUND The Miami Police Department is committed to the education and development of our youth. D.A.R.E. is a national program where police officers, who have been certified as D.A.R.E. Instructors, teach a curriculum over a seventeen (17) week period to elementary level students. The lessons provide factual information about drugs, gangs and violence. D.A.R.E. officers teach refusal skills through role-playing and other techniques. Officers are able to interact with school faculty and parents while serving as positive role models for today's youth. The D.A.R.E. program is also a good example of community policing, as it uses a proactive approach to stop drug involvement before it starts. This program reaches over 1,200 students. These funds will be utilized to continue the D.A.R.E. program and reach a total of 1,500 students, as well as, to purchase the old police vintage vehicle from the Fraternal Order of Police to be used during D.A.R.E. presentations and other community activities (career days, crime prevention fairs, etc.). �� LIJ CAG /JLM/!r 01- 4&0 0 AFFIDAVIT STATE OF FLORIDA: : SS COUNTY OF DADE : 0 Before me this day personally appeared Raul Martinez who being duly sworn, deposes and says that: I, Raul Martinez, Chief of Police, City of Miami, do hereby certify that this request for expenditure from the City of Miami Law Enforcement Trust Fund, for the funding of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.)
