DARE
 Drug
Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) is a 17-week comprehensive program between
the Schools and the Police Department. The officer visits each classroom
of the local 5th or 6th grade elementary Schools each week for about one
hour.
Each week's lesson builds off of the previous week's lesson, so as they
work like stepping stones for the overall goal of the kids learning to
say no to drugs and violence.
Lessons are taught on consequences of your actions, and of using or not
using drugs, peer-pressure and how to resist it. Also taught is how the
media tries to influence us, self-esteem and how important it is, violence
and how to stay out of trouble.
The kids participate in the lessons by role-playing, play-acting, reading
and breaking down into group activities.
SCHOOL LIAISON
The Antigo Police School Liaison program was established in 1997 by a
joint effort of the Antigo Police Department and the Unified School District.
Initially the program placed a uniformed officer in the High School and
the Middle School. The Officer was also a Dare Instructor to the City
of Antigo 5th grade classes. The 1999-2000 school year provide some changes
to the program. The Officer is now in plain clothes and a separate Officer
teaches the Dare classes. This allows the Police School Liaison Officer
to dedicate more time to the High School and the Middle School. The goal
of the program is to open the communication between the Police Department
and the Schools to effectively problem solve the legal issues at the School
and provide a safe environment. The Police School Liaison Officer works
closely with the School Administration to resolve any problems. The Police
School Liaison Officer enforces all laws within and outside the school
and is available for classroom presentations.
