D.A.R.E. & School Resource Unit
The Griffin area school system is comprised of five elementary schools, one high school, and one alternative school. There are three members from the Griffin Police Department assigned to the school system as School Resource Officers. Two separate officers teach the Drug Awareness Resistance Education Program (D.A.R.E.). These officers try to reach the students at a young age to hopefully deter students from using or experimenting with any type of drug. This program seems to be successful because of the relationship between the students and the officers.
During 2006, Cpl. Willie Neal and Lt. Morris Pike taught D.A.R.E. in 30 classes to approximately 3,600 students.
During 2007, Cpl. Willie Neal and Lt. Morris Pike taught D.A.R.E. in 11 schools to 850 students.
They taught D.A.R.E. to 925 students in 2008.
During 2008, the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program was implemented in the middle schools. It is projected that 300 students will participate in 2009/2010.

ADAP
The Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program is taught once a month at the Police Department by Bryan Clanton to teenagers who did not receive the instruction in their public school health class. A completion certificate is required for all teenage drivers seeking a license.
Since 2006, 720 students have been taught by Clanton at the Police Department , Griffin Christian Academy, and Faith Christian Academy. Only 2 students have failed the course as of today.
It is taught the second Saturday of every month at the Police Department and whenever a request is made by schools.
