Hi, kids! D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. The D.A.R.E. program was started by a group of Los Angeles police officers and schoolteachers that were concerned because kids were taking drugs. These drugs were destroying kids' lives. The police officers and schoolteachers joined forces and launched D.A.R.E. to teach kids about the dangers of drugs and violence, and how to protect themselves from it.
The police wanted to steer kids away from dangerous drugs and help them make smart choices, like playing sports and starting hobbies instead of using drugs and hanging out on the streets.
The D.A.R.E. program gives you the skills you need to avoid getting involved in drugs, gangs, and violence.
