The Sturgeon Rural Crime Watch Association is proud to be a sponsor of the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program. The D.A.R.E. program was developed in 1983 as a cooperative effort between the Los Angeles (California) Unified School District and Los Angeles Police Department. The Morinville R.C.M.P. is proud to offer the D.A.R.E. program to Sturgeon County’s youth. Last school year (2009-2010) six D.A.R.E. trained officers from the Morinville RCMP Detachment delivered the D.A.R.E. curriculum to 417 grade five and six students in 9 schools;
D.A.R.E. is an internationally recognized program which seeks to provide children and youth with the information and skills needed to live drug and violence free lives. D.A.R.E. works to establish positive relationships between local R.C.M.P. Officers, students, teachers, parents and community members. D.A.R.E. is more than a simple "Just Say No" program. D.A.R.E. teaches students a decision making model which will help them to make healthy and informed choices throughout their lives. By investing time and energy in today’s youth through the D.A.R.E. program we are committed to reducing drugs and violence and preventing crime for the future. The elementary school D.A.R.E. program which is currently being offered in Sturgeon County is taught by specially trained RCMP officers who currently deliver the nine-week program to grade five and six students. Each D.A.R.E. class culminates with a special graduation ceremony in which the students pledge their commitment to staying drug and violence free. D.A.R.E. lesson topics include:
