PAWS for Safety
The PTO of Wilson Hall Middle School will work closely with Dr. Taite to implement safety upgrades to our aging facility, which is the objective of the project. We believe these changes will benefit not only the students who attend the school, but the community at large. Our ultimate goal is to have all doors be alike with matching locks and a master key. Additional phases of safety upgrades may be necessary in the future, however, we believe this project will be a wonderful start to increasing the safety of the facility and the sense of well-being of the students, faculty and staff of Wilson Hall Middle School. All installation, operation and maintenance will be performed by the Maintenance Department of the Clarke County Board of Education.

Thomasville Narcotics Unit Intensification Project
The Thomasville Police Department Narcotics Unit is a very small drug enforcement unit entrusted with one purpose; to substantially reduce the use and sale of drugs within the Thomasville community. In an effort to increase the number of arrests associated with the sale or use of narcotics the department began to improve, upgrade and intensify the technology available to the unit.
This project allowed the unit to purchase much-needed software that has added to the apprehension of drug dealers and their buyers. This technology has provided a level of undercover safety for our officers and surveillance capabilities beyond traditional methods. The successfulness of this equipment has encouraged its use for further years of service.
