D.A.R.E Training is an important piece of community outreach. 

Lincoln Mayor Tracy Welch explains that the D.A.R.E Training program hosted by the Lincoln Police Department is like no other. They host officers from around the country to teach them about the program. 

The current Lincoln Police Department facilities were constructed somewhat recently. Mayor Welch indicates that they intentionally created a large training space to accommodate the large number of officers that travel to Lincoln for D.A.R.E training. He notes that the building used to be a school. 

This training helps officers navigate topics like drugs and alcohol, bullying, and internet safety when they teach the content to their local students.
