D.A.R.E. Officer Training (DOT)
The D.A.R.E. Officer Training Program is an intensive two week (80+ hrs.) residential
training course that equips the entry level police officer with the skills and
knowledge to present the D.A.R.E. curriculum to 5/6th grade children. The training
focuses on developing communication skills, teaching methodology, classroom
management, narcotics overview, adolescent development and chemical use and
dependency, lesson preparation and effective demonstration of the curriculum.
Additionally, this lengthy and difficult training event requires that the officer
is truly committed to helping children live safe and healthy lives. That commitment
is the catalyst that helps carry most officers through. Ask any one of them
about the difficulty and they consistently reply, "it was one of the most difficult
trainings of my police career." National D.A.R.E. Training Schedule Maryland
