Crime Stoppers & D.A.R.E.

  • Crime Stoppers is a community-based program that encourages people to provide anonymous tips about crimes to help law enforcement solve cases. It typically operates through a phone hotline, website, or app where citizens can report suspicious activities or information without revealing their identity. Rewards are often offered for tips that lead to arrests or solving crimes. The goal of Crime Stoppers is to involve the public in crime prevention and increase safety by fostering cooperation between citizens and the police.

    D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) is an educational program aimed primarily at school-aged children to prevent drug use, violence, and gang involvement. It is usually taught by specially trained police officers in schools and focuses on teaching children the skills to resist peer pressure, make healthy choices, and understand the risks of drugs and alcohol. While it began in the 1980s with a focus on drug prevention, many modern versions of D.A.R.E. also address broader topics such as bullying and mental health.

    Both of these programs share the goal of promoting safer communities but approach it in different ways—Crime Stoppers by encouraging anonymous public involvement in crime solving, and D.A.R.E. by educating youths to make positive life choices. The Hallsville ISD Police Department is proud to be part of the Hallsville Independent School District Crime Stoppers and D.A.R.E Programs. These programs work hand in hand to support each other not only in fundraising efforts but in mentoring our youth in making good decisions and positive choices. 

HISD D.A.R.E.

  • Hallsville ISD D.A.R.E. is a drug abuse prevention education program designed to primarily equip elementary and middle school children with knowledge about drug abuse, the consequences of abuse, and skills for resisting peer pressure to experiment with drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. The D.A.R.E. program is taught in over 75% of the nation’s school districts, creating a positive atmosphere for students to interact with uniformed law enforcement officers. This unique program uses uniformed law enforcement officers to teach a formal curriculum to students in a classroom setting.

    The Hallsville D.A.R.E. Program is taught by officers whose specialized training and experience have given them the background needed to answer sophisticated questions often posed by young students regarding drugs and addiction. During instruction, a variety of activity-oriented techniques are employed that involve students in class, cooperative-learning group discussions, and role-playing exercises to improve their understanding of the program.

HISD Crime Stoppers

  • The Hallsville ISD Crime Stoppers, Inc., is guided by Sgt. Jacob Trest and Chief Chris Miller and mainly operates at Hallsville High School and Hallsville Junior High campuses. The program extends to cover all campuses within the district, however. The program is a student engagement program designed to address juvenile-related crimes, particularly criminal activity occurring in and around our district campuses. It is a joint effort between the school administration, students, staff, law enforcement, and all of our communities to encourage students to take active roles in keeping their schools and communities safe and free from the threat of violence, illegal drugs, weapons, and other dangerous activities.

    This program has been very successful in helping campuses curb violence, prevent the sale and abuse of drugs, and warn school officials and campus police about pending violence on the campuses and at school athletic events. Since 1978, campus-based Crime Stoppers programs have alerted police to nearly 2,000 weapons in Texas schools.

    The ultimate goal of the Hallsville ISD D.A.R.E. & Crime Stoppers Program is to help ensure a safer learning environment for all students within the district. These two programs join together so that the upper-class members of the Crime Stoppers Program can work closely to serve as positive role models for the youth involved in the D.A.R.E. Program. Both programs look forward to success, by being dedicated and devoted to safeguarding our future.
