Sheriff: Former D.A.R.E. Officer Tarnished the Badge'; 2 Others Accused in Conspiracy
Betrayal, disappointment, anger, victimization and disbelief. Just a couple of words that describe how I felt when Kevin Vanden Heuvel admittedly or admitted to embezzling cash from the DARE parking funds. Brown County Sheriff John Gossage described his reaction to learning what investigators classify a case of theft by one of their own.
Investigators with the Brown County Sheriffs Office say three people Vanden Heuvel, a drug and alcohol abuse counselor and a Brown County employee were involved in a conspiracy to steal money by printing fake parking passes for Packers games.
The Brown County Sheriffs Office says Vanden Heuvel the longtime face of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program stole thousands of dollars by pocketing money from the fake passes. Part of DAREs funding comes from parking cars at home Packers games.
Charges have been referred to the District Attorneys Office against the former officer and the two other suspects, who were not named during a news conference Friday morning.

for profit, job security, or a sense of self-importance.

It's a BS program that teaches kids to snitch on parents and other adults. IIRC, it was started during the Reagan administration as a part of his "War on Drugs". The DARE program needs to be scrapped, IMO.
