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.
