Welcome to the Tishomingo County Sheriff's Department D.A.R.E. Website. This site contains Fun Things to Do, Cool Places to Visit, Information about D.A.R.E., Student's Posting Page, Safety Information, and more.
D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles to help the youth resist drugs and violence. Today there are over 36 million youth in D.A.R.E., it is in 80% of all school districts in this country, and these numbers are still increasing today. D.A.R.E. is an acronym that stands for DRUG ABUSE RESISTANCE EDUCATION, and it is also an acronym for Define, Assess, Respond, and Evaluate. This is a decision making model where the students take information, think about the situation, make a decision, and decide if they made a good choice. This model is used in relationship to drugs, peer pressure, friendships, and more. Facts about the health risks of using drugs are given to the students to help them assess real life situations. The advertising campaigns of tobacco and alcohol toward the youth is shown and discussed. The belief that most people use drugs is showed statistically to be false. Scenanarios are acted out by the youth covering different ways to say no to bad situations. Sheriff Glenn Whitlock and D.A.R.E.'s hope is that the youth will be drug and violence free and participate in fun things such as sports, arts, or reaching important goals.
