PNP Rizal Police Provincial Office and DepEd Rizal launched the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) on August 23, 2011 at Taytay Elementary School. The program aims to educate grade six pupils on the perils of drug addiction. The 17 part lesson includes their rights, their roles in the community, and building self-esteem among the pupils.
According to its official website, D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles, USA and has proven so successful that it is now being implemented in 75 percent of the federal school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world.
D.A.R.E. is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through high school how to resist peer pressure and live productive and drug and violence-free lives.
The police officer assigned to teach DARE is PO2 Robert Cabilos of the PNP-Rizal Community Relations Office.
