Gang Prevention
Gang Resistance and Education Training
The G.R.E.A.T. Program is a school-based, law enforcement officer-instructed classroom curriculum. With prevention as its primary objective, the program is intended as an immunization against delinquency, youth violence, and gang membership. G.R.E.A.T. lessons focus on providing life skills to students to help them avoid using delinquent behavior and violence to solve problems. The G.R.E.A.T. Program offers a continuum of components for students and their families. The G.R.E.A.T. Program is taught to all middle schools grades in Cabarrus County.

Gun Safety
PAX Real Solutions to Gun Violence
PAX, in collaboration with the American Academy of Pediatrics, created
the ASK (Asking Saves Kids) campaign. ASK is a national public health
initiative that provides something real every parent can do to keep
their children safe. Based on the astonishing fact that over 40% of
homes with children have a gun, many of which are kept unlocked or
loaded, the ASK campaign encourages parents to ASK if there are guns in
the homes where their children play. It is a simple idea that is
undoubtedly saving lives.
