D.A.R.E Program Working for Clinton Police

A portable meth lab was discovered by children in a local Clinton park last week. While this is not an ideal scenario, Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says the kids were able to identify what is was and contact the proper authority because of information gained through the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program, or D.A.R.E.

 

 

Chief Lowers says the D.A.R.E Program isn't the same as it was when former Clinton Police Chief Mike Reidy started teaching it in Clinton schools in the early 90's. He says they spend extra time specifically on all-things methamphetamine because of its prevalence in communities like Clinton.

 

 

Chief Lowers will begin teaching the annual 12-week Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program to Clinton Elementary students next Tuesday.
