Welcome new D.A.R.E. Officer Brandon Trapp of the Iowa Falls Police Dept. An image and comments from Officer Trapp about his first graduating class:

A picture of my first DARE grads, since I am a brand new DARE Officer. I am pictured with Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Schmidt's 5th grade students from Rockrun Elem. School in Iowa Falls, Iowa.
