Discussion DARE was developed in 1983 in Los Angeles and is a program where uniformed police officers are instructors in anti-drug classes in the public schools. The target groups are 5th and 6th grade students. The intent of the DARE program is to aid the students in developing decision making skills, resist peer pressure, develop self-esteem, practice personal safety and aid the students in other ways of saying no to drugs. Since its inception, Los Angeles has expanded its program from 50 schools to 407, and over 100 other police departments have begun DARE programs in their public schools. Additionally, the United States Department of Education has endorsed the program, as well as some local groups, such as Fort Worth Challenge. In August, 1987, Chief of Police Thomas R. Windham, and School Superintendent Dr. Don Roberts agreed to implement a pilot program of DARE i n the Fort Worth Independent School District with Dunbar 5th and 6th grades as the target school. The implementation of DARE will aid the children in resisting drug abuse and subsequently have a long range effect in decreasing the crime problem. Financing The $32,294 will be used to purchase equipment, supplies and provide training for the police officers participating in the program.
