•Teacher Orientation( Teacher – DARE Officer Prtnership)

The D.A.R.E. Officer needs the support and understanding of teachers to function effectively in the classroom.

The D.A.R.E. Officer familiarizes teachers with the D.A.R.E. curriculum at an in-service orientation at the beginning of the school year.

The D.A.R.E. Officer explains their respective roles and identifies ways they can cooperate in communicating D.A.R.E.’s objectives to the students.

Teachers must stay in the classroom during the D.A.R.E. instruction.

Because they know their students well, teachers can share with the Officers ways to handle classroom behavior. Frequently, teachers assist with organizing role-play exercises, check that students complete their homework, or provide lessons during the week to reinforce the D.A.R.E. Officer’s teaching.

•Teacher Orientation( Teacher – DARE Officer Partnership)

•How can D.A.R.E. fit into an already full classroom schedule?The D.A.R.E. curriculum is multifaceted, emphasizing basic skills that students must learn to make reasonable choices for good health. D.A.R.E. reinforces Filipino values, civics, HELE and MAKABAYAN through many of its lessons.

•Can the PNP afford to reassign personnel to classroom duty?

The effectiveness of D.A.R.E. program suggests that PNP cannot afford to reject these prevention efforts. PNP D.A.R.E. program is a long-term investment in future generations.

Depending on the population of the schools and number of sections, one PNP D.A.R.E. Officer can serve as many as 2 to 6 elementary schools every school year, conducting up to 32 classes/sections or an average of 1,600 students per year.

Consequently, small police stations with limited number of personnel the PNP D.A.R.E. Officer can work part time to balance time of work being devoted to other police stations’ activities.

Officers Training specialized and trained in the following areas:•Child Development•Classroom Management•Teaching Techniques and Methodologies•Public Speaking and•Communication Skills

REACTIVATION OF D.A.R.E. PROGRAM

UNDER LOI Kontra Droga Bravo

The Philippine President issued a directive to the PNP to wage a “fiercer war against illegal drugs”.

The current drug situation likewise compels the public to ask the PNP to conduct aggressive campaign against illegal drugs and other harmful substances while the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) is hamstrung by severe shortage in manpower to carry-out its mandate especially at the community level.

LOI KONTRA DROGA BRAVOComponent of the five strategies of the LOI Kontra Droga Bravo is the Drug Demand Reduction wherein the Police-Community Relations Group (PCRG) was assigned to strengthen the police-community partnership in the fight against illegal drugs and other harmful substances and shall undertake the following tasks:•Support PNP Anti-Illegal Drug Special Operation Tasks Force (AIDSOTF) in the implementation of Drug Demand Reduction Strategy;•Support the implementation of Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program and other Drug Demand Reduction Strategy;•Assist in the deployment and mobilization of PNP D.A.R.E. Officers and;

THE D.A.R.E. Philippines Go Drug Free Program.In line with the thrust of our government to fierce war against illegal drugs and other harmful substances, The Philippine National Police in coordination with the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) and Department of Education (DepEd) shall adopt and reactivate the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program and will introduce reforms, operational set-up, policies , system and priorities that will make the program be institutionalized for the protection of the youth against the scourge of illegal drugs in compliance with the drug demand reduction strategy of LOI Kontra Droga Bravo.

PLAN: ADOPTION OF THE DARE PROGRAM

OBJECTIVES:1.To increase police visibility;The PNP DARE Officers shall be visible in their school assignments and they will teach the lesson in complete uniform. This makes the students feel that they are safe with the presence of their police instructors.

2. To prevent and control crimes;The presence of DARE Officers in the school communities will prevent the occurrence of crimes. They will also teach the students about their personal safety, their basic rights and responsibilities and how to make a wise decision in a risky behavior.

3. To prevent use of illegal drugs and other harmful substances;Crime statistics shows that almost 80% of the crimes committed in our country are drug-related. Hence, teaching this program to our students will educate them about the necessary skills to recognize and resist the pressure to use illegal drugs.

4. To reduce violence and prevent the presence of gang members and fraternity wars in schools;The DARE Officers shall teach and warn the students of the negative consequences of being a member of a gang and other groups whose members are engaging in activities that against the law.

5. To enhance the image of the whole PNP;The DARE Officers shall serve as role models, teachers, friends, big brothers or sisters or parents as well. They are tasked to display and carry themselves with outmost decency and discipline.
