South Dakota D.A.R.E. program undergoes changeD.A.R.E. officers from across the South Dakota gathered in Pierre Thursday and Friday for a two-day in-service held at the Kings Inn. Officers learned about changes in the curriculum, the national organization and funding, and continued their training in elementary, middle school and school resource officer instruction. Retro Bill, otherwise known as Bill Russ, made an appearance at the conference. Russ, of Hollywood, Calif., made a video, "D.A.R.E. Safety Tips Video starring Retro Bill," specifically for the D.A.R.E. program.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education officers want today's children to be tomorrow's leaders by saying no to drugs.
D.A.R.E., a program that teaches young people how to recognize and resist the direct and subtle pressures that cause them to experiment with alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and other drugs, will benefit 36 million school children around the world this year, and it all begins when a D.A.R.E. officer steps inside a classroom.
" You folks are the ones out there making the contact and a great impression," Attorney General Larry Long said Thursday afternoon to a room full of officers at the South Dakota D.A.R.E. in-service held at the Kings Inn.
D.A.R.E. officers from across the South Dakota gathered in Pierre for the two-day conference to learn about new changes in the curriculum, national organization and funding.
The in-service began Thursday afternoon with a D.A.R.E. America presentation; an adolescent chemical dependency lecture; a discussion on resiliency by Retro Bill, an actor who stars in the national D.A.R.E. video; and an awards banquet. The conference continued on Friday with D.A.R.E. orientation for elementary and middle school education officers.
According to South Dakota D.A.R.E. coordinator Shannon Hinrichs, the program has radically changed from top to bottom.
One change is the curriculum that is taught by the officers. The curriculum was independently created by the University of Akron in Ohio with a $14 million grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It was tested in major cities for the last two years and is based on the most up-to-date teaching methods used in schools. D.A.R.E. adopted it as the nationwide curriculum.
The new program is shortened from 17 lessons to 10 as the officers will give fewer lectures and use more facilitating skills when teaching the course.
" The officer is now the guide on the side and not the sage on the stage," Hinrichs said. "Teachers aren't teaching that style and we're not either."
A new D.A.R.E. textbook is also being introduced in the classroom, with more activities that involve problems-solving skills, peer group discussion and journal writing.
Besides the textbook, a new video entitled "D.A.R.E. Safety Tips Video starring Retro Bill" was brought into the program. The video was created by Bill Russ, also known as Retro Bill. Russ, of Hollywood, Calif., put $250,000 into acting, writing, producing and directing the video so that children across America can have fun while learning about the dangers of drugs.
D.A.R.E., which has been in existence since 1983, began in South Dakota in 1988. Today 150 active D.A.R.E. officers teach the course to elementary and middle school children across the South Dakota.
Besides changes in the South Dakota D.A.R.E. program, the national organization, D.A.R.E. America, is also facing new challenges.
According to Mike Lien, D.A.R.E. America north-central regional director, seven instrumental people, including the president and founder of the organization, Glen Levant, are retiring or leaving the program.
Lien also spoke to officers about the issue of funding the program. D.A.R.E. America is a nonprofit program that receives 98 percent of funding from corporations and donations.
Lien pointed out that South Dakota's funding is unique from the other states in the sense that officers get all their money from the attorney general's office.
" The attorney general's office here funds just about everything you do," Lien said. "That is not true in other states."
Lien gave the example of a D.A.R.E. program in Winona, Minn., that was forced to raise $65,000 on its own from May 15 to June 30 in order to continue the program.
The South Dakota attorney general's office does not have a separate budget for the D.A.R.E. program, but a percentage of money out of the law enforcement training budget goes directly to the program. In the last fiscal year, law enforcement training received $1,028,626 from the attorney general's office.
The funding provided by the attorney general's office takes care of the cost of training officers, in-services and textbooks.
Other materials such as T-shirts and incentives that officers provide to the students have been funded by the local community D.A.R.E. officer before.
This year local officers will be receiving some help with the sponsorship of the Watkins Corporation. After ordering a product from the company, the person can request money for their local D.A.R.E. program. Twenty percent of the purchase price will then be given to the local program.
According to Lien, on average Watkins consumer purchases $40 a month of Watkins products, and South Dakota is the second largest consumer of the products, which are out of Winona, Minn.
After looking at the changes in curriculum, organization and funding, the South Dakota D.A.R.E. officers continued their training at the in-service. The officers are currently in the second phase of training and were instructed Friday in elementary, middle school and school resource officer training.
The next training in South Dakota is scheduled for Aug. 4.
