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 2009 Training Conference Will be Held July 13, 14,15, 2009

The location will be at Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, Glendale, WI.
