I think you’re right. I think that’s likely one of the many ways the program proved itself fake to students. Also, unless you’re using a scared-straight approach, since when did cops become teachers?

On a side note, my wife recently ran into kids fundraising outside a store to get D.A.R.E. into their school. They hit her up a number of times (she made a number of trips to that store that day) and each time she told them she didn’t support the program. I wish I’d been there to see their reactions.
