Dare Iowa
Proudly serving the Youth of Iowa.
Welcome to our new web page.


MCTC is an indispensable partner to Law Enforcement Agencies and Community Based Organizations as 
the premier resource in the Midwest for counter-narcotic training and professional development. The
Midwest Counterdrug Training Center focuses National Guard capabilities and assets to facilitate
professional development, mitigate training gaps, and increase counterdrug expertise in the LEA and 
CBO communities in order to build safe and strong communities.
DARE Iowa has been a partner with MCTC for many years as they support our Dare Officer Trainings. 
They host the event as well at Camp Dodge and provide facilities for the classrooms and lodging for the 
Officers and Training Team.  We could not host these trainings without the support from MCTC.  We 
encourage all to view their website for additional trainings throughout the year.
DARE Iowa is planning to host the 49th Dare Officer Training at Camp Dodge,
Sept. 27th - Oct. 7th, 2026.  The class will fill fast so please contact us as soon as possible 
for your future needs in training of a new Dare Officer/Deputy. We want to get as man
Iowa Officers in the class as possible before opening up to other states.
