Police Department

Congratulations to the D.A.R.E. Class of 2008

Great Job!!!

Overview

The Alburtis Borough Police Department, in conjunction with the Alburtis Elementary School, is presenting a drug and

violence education and prevention program titled D.A.R.E. at the school.

The acronym D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. The aim of the program is to equip youth with the

skills to resist the peer pressures of experimenting with and the use of harmful drugs.

One of the unique features of the D.A.R.E. program is the use of Police Officers as instructors in the classroom. This

has helped to forge a positive relationship between officers and youth of the community.

The D.A.R.E. lessons focus on four major areas:

The D.A.R.E. program also:

"Humanizes" the Police, so that the young can relate to officers as people
Lets students see officers in a helping role, not just an enforcement role
Opens lines of communication between law enforcement and youth
Opens dialogue between the school, parents and Police to deal with other issues
D.A.R.E. officers can serve as conduits that provide information beyond drug related topics
