Breaking the Cycle of Gang Recruitment, 3/17
On 3/16/17, PBSO’s Lake Worth Community Policing Unit, with assistance from LEGOLAND and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Foundation, was able to treat 40 students from North Grade and South Grade Elementary Schools to a fun-filled day at LEGOLAND in Winter Haven. This was the culmination of a 12 week program called Breaking the Cycle of Gang Recruitment. The program aims to prevent gang recruitment by raising the students’ self-esteem, showing them the benefits of education and creating a positive relationship with law enforcement. |
