Drug
Abuse Resistance Education - DARE Program
This year, across the county, more than
25 million children will benefit from DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance
Education). The Summit County Deputies from the Summit
County Sheriff's Office have taught the DARE program since 1991. This program
is offered to over 6000
children in six school districts and nine parochial schools each year.
Currently, the Summit County Sheriff's
Office provides five different instructional programs from
Pre-Kindergarten through Eighth Grade. The Sheriff's Office also
provides S.I.D.N.E, Meth Awareness, and I-Safe training to high schools
throughout the county. Veteran deputies are assigned to
teach the programs. These officers bring their experience and commitment into the
classroom, instructing children in ways to resist peer pressure and to
live productive drug and violence-free lives. The officers are proud to
present these high quality educational programs to the children of
Summit County.
