MCPI-DARE Mentor Officer Training

The DARE Mentor Officer Training (MOT) is co-hosted by the Maryland Police & Correctional Training Commissions in partnership with the Virginia DARE Training Center.

Interested DARE Officers should be sure to review the MOT Process Guidelines Letter before applying. It’s important for applicants to have a clear understanding of the commitment and conditions of Mentor certification. The following is included within DARE America policy. A Mentor candidate must:
- Be a certified and active D.A.R.E. instructor
- Successfully complete Mentor training
- Serve as an Apprentice during a two week DARE Officer Training within one year of Mentor training
- Participate as a member of a training team in at least one DOT within a consecutive 24-month period to maintain Mentor status. Mentors may also be requested for other DARE training opportunities

All MOT applicants must submit the DARE MOT application to their Regional Director for consideration to attend. Applications must include an agency letter of acknowledgement, and all required signatures.

Once approved, the agency’s training coordinator must enroll the student via the MPCTC Online Registration System. The MOT will be filled on a first come basis.
