The Gang Resistance Education And Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program is a life -skills compe::ncy program designed to provide students with the
skills they need to avoid gang pressure and youth violence. G.R.E.A.T.'s violence prevention curriculum helps students develop values and
practice behaviors that will assist them to avoid destructive activities. The G.R,E.A.T. program coordinates with federal, regional. state and local
agencies, as well as individuals from community and civic groups. The goal of the G.R.E.A.T. program is to train law enforcement officers in a
school -based curriculum in which the officers provide instruction to school -aged children in life skill competencies, gang awareness, and anti-
violence techniques. Training in the core G.R.E.A1T. program is provided to officers from any state or local law enforcement agency.
