The Maryland D.A.R.E. Coordinator's Office has published its Annual Report including the results of a year long evaluation of the State-wide D.A.R.E. Project. This truly reflects the quality of the program in Maryland which is due almost entirely to the D.A.R.E. Officers in the classroom. Thanks to those dedicated officers, over 56,000 students received life saving skills to help ensure their healthy futures. The Maryland D.A.R.E. Coordinator's Office would like to thank all of those who participated in the evaluation process. The Maryland State D.A.R.E. Coordinator, Corporal Gary Chatfield, has been promoted to the rank of Sergeant.
