included programs from BATF through GREAT. Since 1993, this
program has provided education that includes gang membership
prevention, self esteem building, conflict resolution, and

Liaison Officers to seventh graders in the middle schools . The
$5, 000 grant was requested by Resident Officers to also
provide this education to the elementary schools in their
neighborhoods, which would be Channing, Washington, Gifford,
and McKinley. Although the GREAT program is similar to the
DARE Program, the GREAT program is directed more toward street
gang violence and is taught at the 4-6th grade levels so the
student receives this training prior to reaching middle
school .
