D.A.R.E.
This year millions of school children around the world will benefit from D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), the highly acclaimed program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence. D.A.R.E. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles and has proven so successful that it is now being implemented in more than half of our nation's school districts and in more than 53 countries around the world. D.A.R.E. is a law enforcement officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches children from kindergarten through 12th. grade how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives.
The D.A.R.E. program in Auglaize County was established in St Marys City Schools in January of 1991, by Patrolman Scott Evans of the St Marys Police Department. In the fall of 1994, the program went countywide with Scott R. Evans becoming a Deputy with the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office, offering D.A.R.E. to all six school districts.

| Deputy Scott Evans | 1994-2007 |
| Deputy Samuel Blank | 2007-2018 |

The DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program aims to benefit the community in several ways:
Reduced Substance Abuse: By teaching children and adolescents about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, DARE aims to reduce the number of young people who experiment with or become addicted to these substances.
Improved Decision-Making Skills: DARE focuses on teaching children how to resist peer pressure, make informed choices, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. These skills can help them navigate difficult situations and avoid risky behaviors.
Enhanced Self-Esteem: DARE often incorporates activities that boost children's self-esteem and confidence. This can help them feel more empowered to make positive choices and resist negative influences.
Stronger Community Bonds: DARE often involves partnerships between law enforcement, schools, and community organizations. This collaboration can strengthen relationships and foster a sense of community involvement in youth development.
Positive Role Models: DARE officers often serve as positive role models for young people, demonstrating the importance of making healthy choices and contributing to society.
