title: Be a winner: Arkansas' approach to involving law enforcement officers in drug education.
abstract: This paper describes a project which is a joint venture of the Northwest Arkansas Police Institute and the Program in Health Sciences at the University of Arkansas. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education under the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, the focus of the project has been the development of an innovative drug education program which brings uniformed law enforcement officers into the elementary school classroom. The officers lead an eight week instructional program at the fifth or sixth grade levels using our Be A Winner curriculum.
