The EKG program started off as a joint effort between the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and the Fayetteville Police Department through Project Safe Neighborhood’s Operation Ceasefire. In 2022, the Thomasville Police Department was selected by Project Safe Neighborhood to be a pilot program for EKG in Davidson County. Each student in Thomasville Middle School will attend two 1.5 hour classes taught by SRO Jarrell. One of the aspects of the EKG programs is to get students to have positive interactions with a police officer.
