The D.A.R.E program, sponsored by the Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA), U.S. Department of
Justice, helps students from elementary through
high school learn how to resist drug abuse and
violent behavior and build self-esteem. Working in

that holds the copyright to the D.A.R.E. curriculums,
BJA provides funds to support this program and the
five DARE Regional Training Centers in Arizona,
California, Illinois, North Carolina, and
Virginia. The centers provide the following
services:
o D.A.R.E. officer training for new officers.
o D.A.R.E. inservice training for experienced
officers.
o Mentor officer training for mentors.
o D.A.R.E. parent program training for instructors who
work with and train parents using the DARE
curriculum.
o D.A.R.E. junior high and high school student
training.
