We hope our paths cross in the future again! -Troy Alexander, Communications Specialist, Mountain State Educational Service Cooperative "Molly was fantastic! Not sure how else to describe it. I have been told many times that this was the best DARE conference that Iowa has had and some even said it was better than a lot of other law enforcement conferences they have attended.
