M/1
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution authorizing the funding of the Drug Abuse
Resistance Education Program, and allocating funds therefor, in an amount not to exceed
$25,000.00, be approved. Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, from
Project Number 690003.
BACKGROUND:
The Miami Police Department is committed to the education and development of the youth of our
City. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program is a program where police
officers teach a curriculum of sixteen (16) one hour lessons, usually at the fifth or sixth grade level.
D.A.R.E. curriculums of different lengths are available for kindergarten through twelve grade
level. The lessons provide factual information about drugs, gangs and violence. They teach
refusal skills through role playing and other techniques. D.A.R.E. is also a good example of
community policing as it uses a proactive approach to stop drug involvement before it starts.
Police Officers teaching the D.A.R.E. program are able to interact with faculty, and parents along
with serving as positive role models for today's youth. This program reaches over 1,500 students.
