Warshaw City Manager RECOMMENDATION CA -8 DATE: `AN, % v L0_09 SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution FILE: REFERENCES: Drug Abuse Resistance ENCLOSURES: Education (D.A.R.E.) Program 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 $35,691.12. Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project Numbers 690001, 690002 and 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 1,100 students. These funds will be utilized to continue the D.A.R.E. program and train three additional officers as D.A.R.E. instructors. JP .. F DHW:WEO:B :JLM:lr 00- 118 TO: Donald H.
