D.A.R.E. Program
Uniform Patrol Division: D.A.R.E. - Drug Abuse Resistance Education
The Springfield Police Division is dedicated to the protection of children in the community. The division has been active in the D.A.R.E. program since 1990 and remains committed to the education of school children in the importance of leading drug free lives. The 2003-2004 school year re-introduced the city DARE program to the 7th grade, as a compliment to the regular 5th grade schedule. We realize that the future of any community lies within its children. The DARE officers work full time in the city schools as role models for children. The officers have specialized training and provide lesson plans, which educate students on the dangers and consequences of drug use.
