D.A.R.E.

D.A.R.E. Program—Since 1990
D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. The D.A.R.E. Program is a ten-week program taught by Tigard Police Officers. The program is targeted at fifth grade students and is taught in five Tigard elementary schools.

The D.A.R.E. lessons focus on four major areas:
  • Providing accurate information about drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
  • Teaching students good decision-making skills.
  • Showing students how to recognize and resist peer pressure.
  • Giving students ideas for positive alternative to drug use.
D.A.R.E. officers work with children to raise their self-esteem; encourage them to make their own decisions; show them how to cope with their problems in a positive way; and encourage them to get involved in positive activities instead of doing drugs.

If you would like more information about our D.A.R.E. programs, contact Lt. Mike Eskew at 503-718-2558.

  
D.A.R.E. to be G.R.E.A.T. Summer Camp
Updated May, 2012
We continue to support D.A.R.E. instruction in Tigard Schools, however due to current budget constraints, we are no longer able to offer our D.A.R.E. to be G.R.E.A.T. Summer Camp program. The Tigard Police Department will continue working to identify possible future funding opportunities which may allow the summer camp program to return in the future.

For more information about the G.R.E.A.T. program contact Lt. Mike Eskew at 503-718-2558.
