DARE PROGRAM GETS $17,000

Halton police's long-running Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program 
has received a $17,000 boost through an annual fund-raising event.

Howard Adams, an RCMP officer, announced the amount of the donation at last 
week's police services board meeting.

The money comes from proceeds of the Real Men Can Cook event.

The DARE program sends officers into Halton's elementary schools to speak 
with pre-teens about the dangers of drinking and drugs.
