Drug Awareness Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.)

The Willowick Police Department offers the D.A.R.E. program to the fifth graders at the Royalview Elementary School.  This program teaches the resistance to drugs and alcohol; and the importance of being a leader, not a follower. The program is a success under the direction of
Ptl. Don Slapnicker.
