In order to achieve our goal the Police Officers who go into the schools to teach the DARE program have to be updated with the latest information on presenting curriculum, as well as keeping our schools safe. Each year the WDOA hosts a three day training conference.

 The 2011 Training Conference Will be Held July 11, 12, 13, 2011

The location will be at Midway Hotel and Conference Center, Green Bay, WI. 

The Board of Directors represents the over 175 DARE Officers around the State of Wisconsin.
