The children and teens of Great Bend will see a new DARE vehicle cruising the streets.The Great Bend Police Department purchased a 2017 Dodge Ram 4x4 pickup back in December, but the truck was not ready for duty until March 4 when lights, decals and a special siren were added.“It is important to have a DARE vehicle for the community,” DARE Officer Paul Millard said. “The children really think it’s cool that I have my own vehicle and it helps promote the DARE program.”The vehicle was purchased by alcohol and tobacco sales taxes from Great Bend. As these items are sold, a percentage of the tax goes into a fund that the police department can spend on education and prevention.
