Police - D.A.R.E.
The Gates Mills Police Departments Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program has been in existence since 1992. D.A.R.E. was originally developed in 1983 by the Los Angeles Police Department in conjunction with the Unified School District. One of the unique features of this program is the use of certified and trained police officers as instructors. The goal is to educate students with accurate information about drugs and to give them the necessary skills to make good life decisions.
