Audubon Donates Vehicle to
Local D.A.R.E Program...
Like most Police Departments, Henderson is very proud
of its D.A.R.E. car. Currently, that vehicle is a 2005 Dodge
Viper, which was donated by Audubon Chrysler Center in Henderson,
KY.
The black car, with its chrome lettering,lights, sirens, and police
striping, makes quite an eye-catching presence.
More about the Henderson D.A.R.E Program...
Since 1991, the Henderson Police Department has participated
in the D.A.R.E. Program. The D.A.R.E. Officer teaches the
17-week program to all ten elementary schools in Henderson County.
The classes not only teach Drug Abuse Resistance Education, but
also work with students on issues including peer pressure and ways
to say no, self-esteem, resisting gangs, and conflict resolutions.
In addition to the curriculum of the regular D.A.R.E. classes,
Henderson’s D.A.R.E. Officer travels to both junior high schools
and works with students there. The students learn different
aspects of law enforcement, from traffic and patrol, to investigations
and crime scenes, to the workings of the court systems.
