History of the Wisconsin DARE Officers Association

History of the Wisconsin DARE Officers Association

Out of a phone conversation between two newly trained DARE Officers in November of 1989 lead to the birth of the Wisconsin DARE Officers association.

An Organizational meeting was held in December of 1989. They hoped a few Officers would show up. To their surprise, fifty DARE Officers from across Wisconsin showed up.  A board of directors and bylaws came out of that meeting.
