"The reality we live around, you know, in the environment is hard enough. So we want to provide the right skills to the students," Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez also said that this event gives students a positive way to connect with their local police department.
Students received D.A.R.E. diplomas, gave speeches and celebrated with pizza and cupcakes.
