The Oklahoma D.A.R.E. Officer Training seminar is scheduled for July 15-26, 2019.
The training will be held at the Wyndham Garden Hotel Oklahoma City Airport, located at 2101 S. Meridian, OKC, OK 73108.
Once you have completed this training you will be able to teach:
- D.A.R.E. Program in Kindergarten through 4th grade, 5th and 6th grade
- The New Jr. High Program Keeping It Real.
Since this is an intense two-week training, we require that all participants stay at the hotel if you are more than 40 miles from the training site. The seminar will require many out-of-classroom hours for preparation. All classroom sessions are mandatory for certification.
