Hernandez and Deputy Alvillar did several Drug Awareness presentations at the following schools: Gonzalo & Sofia Garcia Elementary, Bill Childress Elementary, Park Elementary, Davenport Elementary, Travis Elementary, Harmony School of Science Middle and High School. These presentations serve as a platform for raising awareness about the dangers and consequences associated with drug use, as well as providing valuable information on prevention strategies and available resources for those seeking help. During drug awareness presentations, the deputies discuss various topics to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. These topics may include the different types of drugs and their effects on the body and mind, the potential risks and consequences of drug abuse, the signs and symptoms of addiction, and the importance of seeking professional help for those struggling with substance abuse. Students and staff from all these schools were very appreciative of the Sheriff's Office for going to their schools and educating them about the dangers while also equipping them with the knowledge to support and assist others who may be struggling with substance abuse.
