D.A.R.E. and School Resource Officer Programs

The goal of the D.A.R.E. and School Resource Officer programs of the Jonesboro Police Department are to protect students, faculty, and staff on school property, reduce the incidences of juvenile crime and delinquency and provide proven, valuable student training through the Drug Abuse Resistance Education curriculum.

The School Resource Officer program is comprised of seven officers that provide services to the Jonesboro, Nettleton and Valley View schools in the city of Jonesboro.

The D.A.R.E. Officer program is comprised of two veteran officers all nationally certified in the D.A.R.E. curriculum program who annually provide D.A.R.E. training to over 2,000 students.

These programs bring a variety of police services directly to the almost 10,000 students in the city of Jonesboro schools including classroom presentations, mentoring, and personal contacts for students on a daily basis.
