DARE is an important community partnership program that helps police, schools  and families to prevent drug and alcohol abuse.

The D.A.R.E. curriculum is taught by Full-Time Dunmore police officers whose training and experience gives them the background needed to answer the sophisticated questions often posed by young students about drugs and crime. Prior to entering the D.A.R.E. program, officers undergo 80 hours of intensive training at the Pennsylvania D.A.R.E. Academy in Elizabethtown Pa.  The training covers areas such as child development, classroom management, teaching techniques, and communication skills.  In addition to the Pa D.A.R.E. requirement, departmental guidelines stipulate that its D.A.R.E. officers must have a minimum of 5yrs Full-Time experience, have an excellent work history and be crime prevention practitioners.  In addition to the elementary D.A.R.E. curriculum, officers are trained in the D.A.R.E. middle school and the G.R.E.A.T. program.
