“DARE, YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE”

1989-15 years of success-2004

 

Hello, I hope this letter finds everyone well and looking forward to the July DARE Conference to be held in Grinnell this year.  This year’s conference will be offering once again update training for those officers who have not yet been certified in the new curriculum.  This will be the last year this training will be offered at our state conference.  In the future if you need to be certified in the new curriculum, you will be required to attend a DOT.  If you need this training, be sure to mark the appropriate boxes on the registration form, making sure to include which day you want to attend, Sunday or Monday.  PHASE 2 ELEMENTARY-up date, this covers curriculum taught to the 5th and 6th grades.  PHASE 2 JR. HIGH/MIDDLE SCHOOL-up date, this covers curriculum taught to the 7th and 8th grades and is for officers who have currently been certified in Jr. High/Middle school who wish to be certified in the new curriculum.  UPGRADE, JR. HIGH/MIDDLE SCHOOL-up grade, this curriculum is being offered to those officers who have never been certified in the Jr. High/middle school curriculum who wish to be certified.  This is an all day class. 

 

We will be having several great presentations this year, one by Eddie Slowikowski.  Eddie is an excellent motivational speaker who will be giving an interactive presentation titled “LifeRide”, a life skills curriculum emphasizing drug and violence prevention.  Eddie has previously “entertained” us at the I.D.A. conference in Ames several years ago.  His presentation was outstanding and very well received.  Another outstanding presentation will be given by Chief Doug Book of the Forest City Police Department.  Chief Book will be talking about his experiences in New York , post 9-11.  He uses slides, power point, and music for this truly dramatic presentation.  There will be a section regarding school place violence.  This presentation will explain how to enact a school-place violence plan, with model policy, what officers should look for, intelligence, and information as well as how to work with your school system.

 

RESERVATIONS:

I cannot stress enough the importance of registering early.  The City of Grinnell has other activities going on in July and Hotel space will be limited.  I have reserved blocks of rooms at the Country Inn Suites, and Super 8 Motel.  These blocks of rooms will only be held until JUNE 18.  If you do not have a room reserved by then you probably will not get one. 

 

Hope to see you in July, and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at gpd220@grinnellpd.com   or phone at 641.236.2650

 

Best regards,
