The Ogden Police Department’s new DARE/Community Engagement officer is Jeremy Lindauer. He recently completed the DARE training and taught his very first lesson at Bernabi Elementary School on Monday, February 27.
Officer Lindauer previously served for 33 years in the Rochester Police Department, retiring as a lieutenant in 2019. He is also a United States Army veteran, having served in the Reserves from 2008 until 2016.
DARE stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education and is a prevention program designed to inform children about drug abuse, its consequences, and ways to resist peer pressure.
In the coming weeks, Officer Lindauer will provide this series of lessons to every fifth grade class across the Spencerport Central School District, and in June, students will receive a certificate of completion.
