We would like to thank everyone who came out to Pigeon Forge last week for our annual DARE Officers Conference. Special thanks to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg for supplying us a trolley to go out and have a fun family night in Gatlinburg. Special thanks also going out to our Special Guest Speaker, Scott Payne. We also had our annual DARE Car Show. We had a good turn out for the car show, but taking the prize this year is Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. We hope everyone had a good time, and learned something that can change a child’s life. Thank you for a wonderful conference.

Huge shout out to these DARE Officers in Memphis PD for the time and effort they put forth, not only in the classrooms and graduation, but also by making an impact in these students lives. Excellent job everyone.
