The Spalding County Sheriff's Office is working with the Griffin-Spalding County School System and offering the C.H.A.M.P.S. program at the sixth grade level in the middle schools. Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety (C.H.A.M.P.S.) is designed and accredited thru the Georgia Sheriffs' Association. Deputies will be teaching/discussing subjects, such as Choices and Consequences, Peer Pressure, and Bullying, along with other topics. The classes will go throughout the school year and at the end of the year the students will graduate from the C.H.A.M.P.S. program. We hope this will build self-esteem and courage; so when faced with a situation of doing right or wrong, all children will make the right decision. Our goal is to have every child in Spalding County be a CHAMP in life.

C.H.A.M.P.S. lesson plans are taught by certified Deputy Sheriff's who have successfully completed C.H.A.M.P.S. instructor training.
