D.A.R.E.  Signs Agreement with Bahrain to Train Police Officers

The New Year has begun with the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Interior Ministry signing an agreement with D.A.R.E. to train Bahraini police officers to teach school children about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse.  D.A.R.E. will begin the four year program by providing 24 police officers with two weeks of intensive training of the D.A.R.E. curriculum. 

Commenting on the agreement, Minister of Interior Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa stressed the importance of the program and urged other ministries and organizations to implement similar projects that promote awareness of such issues among the youth.

DARE's Deputy Director Mike Kuhlman said that the organization is looking forward to implementing the program in Bahrain as this is the first such initiative taken in the Middle East.

The training comes as part of DARE’s international policy of travelling around the world to instruct uniformed officers on how to spread awareness on drug and alcohol-related violence.

"The D.A.R.E. curriculum places children in different scenarios so that they can learn how to make their own choices,” Mr. Kuhlman stated. MORE...
