D.A.R.E. Program Returns to Paramus Schools
The nation wide campaign to educate youth on drugs and decision making has returned to Paramus Public Schools.
Paramus Public Schools have been without the D.A.R.E (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program for the last two years but it made its return at East Brook and West Brook in 2013.
Paramus Police Detective Jimmy Teehan, is the D.A.R.E. Officer for the middle schools.
“We are fortunate to have Detective Teehan and we are grateful to the Paramus Police Department and especially Chief Ehrenberg for allowing this program to continue,” East Brook said in a release.
