They say they do it because they love kids — and the kids appear to love them right back. “They” are local police officers who take time out of their busy schedules to visit area schools and teach kids how to grow up drug free. The D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program is conducted through the efforts of the Paintsville Police Department and four area schools recently recognized their first set of D.A.R.E. graduates — Central Elementary, Highland Elementary, Paintsville Elementary, and Our Lady of the Mountains. Each participating child received a free t-shirt and graduation certificate; essay winners received $25 gift cards from Wal-Mart and commemorative medals. Sponsoring agencies include Osborne & Bowlin PLLC, Wildcat Tire & Auto Service, Classic Cleaners, Premier Motor Sales, and DJ’s Car Care.
