COMMITTEE BUSINESS Case #1: Schooling for Additional D.A.R.E. Officer Finance Officer Hart provided some information on the D.A.R.E. program as it pertains to growth in the school/community. For the year 1995 - 1996, there will be one additional fifth grade class at Ramsey Elementary and four more fifth grade classes for the 1996 - 1997 school year, due to the new addition. There is a need for a second officer trained in D.A.R.E. and Officer Tim Dwyer could attend training classes during November and December 1995, and be on hand to assume one D.A.R.E. class in January 1996. This would provide him the opportunity to develop his techniques and skills sufficiently to assume four of the nine fifth grade classes for the 1996 - 1997 school year. She listed some of the primary advantages of having two officers trained as D.A.R.E. instructors as there are more officers capable of the task providing back-up in the event of illness or injury to either officer and would afford Officer Singewald more time to prepare for the annual Becky Weiss Memorial Bike Road-eo in the spring of the year.
