The D.A.R.E program focuses on inspiring youth to stay away from drugs, alcohol, and other substances. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Lincoln Police Chief Joe Meister told Regional Radio that they will welcome police officers from around the country for a D.A.R.E training program. 

Chief Meister finds community outreach to be an important aspect of police work. He says the outreach accomplished by the D.A.R.E Program is unmatched, and he's grateful to his staff that plan this important training.
