The Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) Program is a school-based, life-skills competency program that is taught by Major Howard Dohack.
The G.R.E.A.T. Program is designed to enable youth to develop positive attitudes toward police officers, avoid conflicts, be responsible, set positive goals and resist peer pressure. Teaching our youth the basic life skills will result in nonviolent behavior.
The G.R.E.A.T. Program is a program that teaches life-skills to young people. In an effort to make our schools and communities free from gangs and violence, we must provide our youth with life-skills. These life-skills empower young people to avoid violent behavior.
Vision Statement
Prevent youth crime, violence, and gang involvement while developing a positive relationship among law enforcement, families, and our young people to create safer communities.
Mission Statement
Law enforcement provides a wide range of structured community-based activities and classroom instruction for school-aged children. The desired results are a sense of competency, usefullness and personal empowerment needed to avoid involvement in youth violence, gangs and criminal activity.
Slogan
No Violence is G.R.E.A.T.
Preamble
In early 1999, the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) National Policy Board (NPB) agreed that a high priority be given to expanding the G.R.E.A.T. Program during the next 5 years. The National Training Committee (NTC) met throughout 1999 to craft a strategic plan to meet the requirements set by the NPB. The purpose of the G.R.E.A.T. 2005 Plan is to set the direction and identify the goals and objectives that will guide the G.R.E.A.T. Program for the next 5 years.
The plan is not intended to address every issue that the program will face. Instead, it articulates a strategy that will help us focus on the issues of critical importance to achieving the G.R.E.A.T. mission. It is a living document that will be revised to reflect changing requirements and priorities.
