Kevin Giberson is our DARE Officer and teaches fifth graders in our local school system at Granite Street. DARE teaches kids the skills they need to avoid involvement with drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and violence. The DARE curriculum is designed specifically to be taught by local police officers. With this program the Police Department hopes to have more involvement in all school and be available to the students and faculty as well as reduce drug use, alcohol use, tobacco use and violence in Millinocket.
