The Louisiana D.A.R.E. Training center is announcing the 31st D.A.R.E. Officer Training Graduation scheduled for Friday, August 29 at 1:00 pm in the Best Western Convention Center on MacArthur Drive in Alexandria, Louisiana.
The training will certify twenty-eight officers from across our state and one deputy from North Carolina in the D.A.R.E. Elementary and Middle school program.
The officers will be entering their local classrooms in the next several weeks to deliver a drug and violence prevention program that is continuing to be taught in Louisiana classrooms for the past eighteen years.
The guest speaker for the graduation ceremony will be Sheriff Mike Stone from the Lincoln Parish Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Stone is currently the governor’s appointee as the chair of the Louisiana D.A.R.E. Advisory Board that monitors and supports the program statewide. Sheriff Stone has been a D.A.R.E. Officer since 1990 and attended the first session of the D.A.R.E. training in Louisiana that was held at the Hotel Bentley in Alexandria, Louisiana.
In addition, the Louisiana D.A.R.E. Training Center will be recognizing the International D.A.R.E. Educator of the Year for 2008 that is Dr. Daphne M. Robinson who serves as the educational advisor to the training center for the past thirteen years. She received the award during the International D.A.R.E. conference that was held in San Antonio, Texas two weeks ago. The award is giving for not only her work with the D.A.R.E. program but her countless hours working in the community.
She is currently the president of the friends of the Alexandria Zoo, founding member of the Children’s Museum and continues to work with her church and has assisted in many mission trips to give medical aid to the people of Mexico. She is married to Tom Robinson, MD who has currently retired and will be celebrating their fiftieth wedding university this year.
