THP is highly active in D.A.R.E. -- the international program that gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs, and violence. The D.A.R.E. curriculum is designed to be taught by law enforcement officers whose training and experience provides them with the knowledge and insight to best address the topic with kids. THP’s D.A.R.E. Troopers teach the program in schools statewide. To schedule a D.A.R.E. presentation for your school, please contact the D.A.R.E. Trooper in your area listed below.
Additionally, THP’s D.A.R.E. Troopers provide all D.A.R.E. training for local law enforcement officers in Tennessee. The basic training includes 80 hours of instruction. For more information, please contact Sergeant Scott Staggs at 615-232-2901 or via email.
