Drug Abuse Resistance Education ( D.A.R.E. ) -
is a combined effort of law enforcement officers, educators, students,
parents and the community to offer an education program designed
to prevent substance abuse and violence by educating children
to recognize and resist the pressures that influence them to
experiment with alcohol, tobacco and drugs. |
|
 |
The Seguin Police Department D.A.R.E. program
was started in 1994. DARE Officers are assigned to the program, teaching
the fifth grade students. D.A.R.E. also
became involved in additional activities, such as sponsoring an annual
Halloween Safe House, Blue Santa Program,
South Texas Youth Ambassadors' Rally, National Night Out and the Cops and Kids Picnic. |
 |
The Seguin Police Department D.A.R.E. program has taken on a new look, with a new nine-week curriculum that is scheduled thoughout the schools schedule. If you would like a presentation for your school assembly or class, please give us a call. |

 |
The Seguin Police Department is proud to announce that Officer Hope Vasquez has received several awards since she became a police officer for the City of Seguin.
Officer Vasquez's accomplishments brought great credit to herself, the City of Seguin and the Seguin Police Department. |
 |
Since the start, the Seguin Police Department D.A.R.E. program has gained the support of the community, and the program
continues to grow. The DARE program also has lessons
for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades. The 7th - 9th grades have
an an opportunity to follow up on their D.A.R.E. lesson with ASAPS (Adolescent Substance Abuse Prevention
Study). The primary goal of this curriculum is to eliminate the
use of Tobacco, Alcohol, Illegal Drugs and Inhalants. |

BLUE SANTA |
 |
 |
The Seguin Police Department will once again sponsor
the Blue Santa Program. This program
is designed to provide the children of our community a gift for Christmas.
These children are the less fortunate of our community, and without
our help would probably not receive a gift during the holidays |
 |
We will start accepting monetary and toy donations on October 1, 2010.
For more information, please call the
D.A.R.E. Program at 401-2386.
