Deputy Kevin Spivey graduated 115 fourth grade students at J Glenn Edwards from the G.R.E.A.T. program today!
G.R.E.A.T. (Gang Resistance Education And Training) is six week, evidence-based and effective gang and violence prevention program built around
school-based, law enforcement officer-instructed classroom curriculum. The
program is intended as an immunization against delinquency, youth
violence, and gang membership for children in the years immediately
before the prime ages for introduction into gangs and delinquent
behavior. It also walks the students through processes like decision
making, conflict resolution, anger management, and the consequences of
gangs and violence. It also builds their relationship and trust with law
enforcement personnel.
