County officials say the case is now closed.<\/p>\n<p>The Roseau County Sheriff\u2019s Office said the matter was reviewed by outside investigators. Officials said the move was made to keep the review independent. The Roseau County Attorney\u2019s Office also requested the outside review.<\/p>\n<h2>Outside Review Requested<\/h2>\n<p>According to the county, the allegations surfaced recently. Officials have not released details about those claims. They also have not said when the allegations first came in.<\/p>\n<p>The county said the D.A.R.E. officer cooperated with investigators. Officials said he took part in the process on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation was handled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pembertonlaw.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pemberton Law<\/a> of Fergus Falls and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.co.marshall.mn.us\/departments\/sheriff\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marshall County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/a>. Those agencies reviewed the matter in full, according to the release.<\/p>\n<h2>No Charges, No Policy Violations<\/h2>\n<p>After that review, officials said no probable cause was found for criminal charges. They also said the investigation found no policy violations.<\/p>\n<p>That means no criminal case will move forward. It also means no internal policy action is expected from the county based on the findings released so far.<\/p>\n<p>Officials said the matter is now closed. No other public details were released in the statement.<\/p>\n<h2>Public Information Remains Limited<\/h2>\n<p>The case has drawn attention because it involved a D.A.R.E. officer. D.A.R.E. programs often work with students and schools. They focus on safety, decision-making, and drug prevention. More about the program is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/dare.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">D.A.R.E. America<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, the public has only a limited summary from officials. The allegations were not named. No court charges were filed. No policy breach was reported.<\/p>\n<p>That leaves the county\u2019s statement as the main public record on the case. Unless new information is released, the case appears to be finished.<\/p>\n<p>For more local and regional coverage, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRF News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m Chris Harper reporting for <a href=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TRF News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24765\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24765\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-24765\" src=\"https:\/\/trfnews.i234.me\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Roseau-County-D.A.R.E.-Officer-Cleared-300x200.png\" alt=\"Roseau County D.A.R.E.
