POLICE -Chief Dearden Chief Dearden reported the Ohio Attorney General's Office has forwarded a notice that we have received our grant for a D.A.R.E. officer's program.

This is the fourth year now that we have received this grant from the Attorney General's office. Mayor Rinker asked if this is the 15t" year that we have had a D.A.R.E. program.
