presentation discussed new Security Partnership
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — Yesterday, myself along with Sergeant Steve Fernez, Major Tod Goodyear and Lieutenant Mike Scully had the pleasure of speaking with Principals and Faculty members of our Brevard County Public Schools.
The presentation provided an opportunity to discuss the new Security Partnership between BPS and the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and also to provide awareness on the latest drug trends and dangers of social media that our children face in today’s society.
I would like to thank Brevard County Public Schools for inviting us to speak and deliver information to their leadership team so we can partner together to keep our children safe in the upcoming school year.
