Detail at least three components of the DARE curriculum.

 The Drug Abuse Resistance Education program has become a very popular collaborative effort between local police departments and school officials. One of the DARE curriculum components is the core curriculum. The core curriculum is delivered by a local police officer to fifth and sixth grade students over a seventeen week period. Next there is a parent component. These sessions offer parents the opportunity to become more involved with DARE and provide them access to community resources. A more recent addition to the program is the inception of D.A.R.E. P.L.U.S. component. Here, help is provided to sixth, seventh and eighth graders with vocational and recreational after-school activities in a well-supervised campus setting.
