D.A.R.E. is the acronym for Drug Abuse Resistance Education and the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office firmly stands behind educating our children to prevent future criminal activity, drug abuse and family breakdown.
D.A.R.E. is provided by the Laurens County Sheriff's Office to any school that desires the program within Laurens County and is primarily taught in the fifth grade. This program is funded by the County of Laurens, fund raising events and private donations. Currently D.A.R.E. is being taught in Laurens School District 55. |
D.A.R.E. is a substance use prevention education program designed to teach young people the effects of drugs and alcohol. D.A.R.E. also teaches self-management and resistance skills. This program uses a well-trained, uniformed deputy to teach a formal semester-long curriculum.
