(I didn't go through DARE, and I'm not on drugs. I know lots of kids who did, and they are on drugs. it's a fucking waste of taxpayer money. Just stop.)

D.A.R.E. is Community Policing

D.A.R.E. is universally viewed as an internationally recognized model of community policing. The United States Department of Justice has identified how D.A.R.E. benefits local communities:

D.A.R.E. "humanizes" the police: that is, young people can begin to relate to officers as people

D.A.R.E. permits students to see officers in a helping role, not just an enforcement role

D.A.R.E. opens lines of communication between law enforcement and youth

D.A.R.E. Officers can serve as conduits to provide information beyond drug-related topics

D.A.R.E. opens dialogue between the school, police, and parents to deal with other issues

(At this point in history, "humanizing" police is a bad idea, as anyone stupid enough to trust them knows.)
