The Mobridge Police Department currently has three DARE instructors, Chief Michael E. Nehls, Captain Justin Jungwirth, and Officer Al Bohle. Chief Nehls is a veteran of DARE and has been a DARE instructor for many years. Chief Nehls is also a DARE mentor for the State of South Dakota. Captain Jungwirth has been an MPD DARE Officer since 2006. Officer Bohle has been an MPD DARE Officer since 2004.

The MPD DARE Officers teach the New DARE elementary school curriculum to students in the Fifth Grade at Mobridge schools and other schools in the area. The MPD DARE Program has also expanded and officers are now teaching an advanced DARE middle school curriculum to students in the Seventh Grade.
