Each Year the MN DARE Officers Association sends the current president of the association to the International DARE Conference which is held every July in the U.S. This year it was held in Grapevine Texas at the Gaylord Texan resort. What a massive resort complex! Almost the entire complex is indoors! The president then brings back new and current information to be presented at the MN DARE Officers Conference. What a great way to meet other DARE Officers from around the country and world!
Above is DARE Officer Cynthia Burke from the Ft. Huachuca AZ Police Department. According to her supervisor Lt. William Woodman she received her DARE Officer Training in Minnesota and he says she cannot say enough on how professional and committed the instructors were. Lt. Woodman created a plaque for her as she single handedly brought DARE back to the Fort Huachuca schools and has made it a tremendous success. Lt. Woodman had contacted us (MN DARE Officers Association) in search for a MN DARE Challenge Coin. We energetically assisted and sent one! Congrats and thank you DARE Officer Burke for a job well done! Lt. Woodman also informed us that Officer Burke is moving on to a new chapter in her life and they will be loosing her as a DARE Officer. Good luck Officer Burke in your new endeavors!
