The D.A.R.E. program which stands for "drug abuse resistance education" is an old washed up program started in the early 80's as an attempt to thwart children away from drug use by integrating police officers with classroom settings and also with regular teachers trained through the d.a.r.e. program.

Many argue that the program is ineffective and actually counter productive in some areas where members that had graduated the program went on to become heavy drug users anyways.
