As you may know, the Gervais Police Department is co-hosting D.A.R.E. Officer Training at the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. This class will be held from Monday, January 13th to Friday, January 24th, 2020. The best news of all is this training is tuition
free
. Furthermore, if you are staying at the academy, the lodging may also be
free
.
This is a great time to let others know about this training as well. If they start a new D.A.R.E. program, then D.A.R.E. America will provide
free
workbooks for the first year. This reduces the costs for the agency and helps with new program implementation. There is still more good news: The new D.A.R.E. program is “
keepin’ it REAL
!”
Keepin’ it REAL
is on the National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices.
Keepin’ it REAL
meets national Common Core educational standards.
Keepin’ it REAL
offers multiple years of intervention (Elementary, Middle, and
High School).
The Curricula is comprehensive and includes: responding to bullying, internet safety, teen
suicide prevention and more.
Please take a look at the attached training announcement. Let me know if you have any questions. I am here to h-e-l-p!
Thank you,
