They're our kids. Our future. Our legacy. And we all want the same thing for them-the best.
We want their futures to be bright, secure, healthy and safe. And we want them to succeed. We want them to join us in the worlds of business and commerce, law and medicine, manufacturing and selling, teaching and serving.
That's why we care. We care about their ability to cope with the challenges of life in contemporary
America. We care about their capacity to resist the negative influences around them. We want
them to focus instead on their strengths and their potential.
D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) A simple acronym with a big message. It's a crusade that works.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol is also proud to be involved with another program to help keep our kids safe. It is called G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education and Training) .
