Since the inception of D.A.R.E. in the 1980s, literally thousands of cities, townships, and counties throughout the United States have welcomed D.A.R.E. officers into their classrooms.
For more than two decades, D.A.R.E. has also been an international program with its curricula being taught in more than 50 other countries with six international D.A.R.E. Training Centers capable of training and teaching in many different languages. To date, these centers have graduated over 12,000 D.A.R.E. international law enforcement officers globally. Classroom materials are available in 13 languages and Braille. Moreover, D.A.R.E. is an official consultative NGO to the United Nations and a member of the World Federation Against Drug Abuse.
