    The monies received will be used in the purchase of equipment and software necessary to produce educational video segments on topics of driver safety with a focus on teenaged drivers. This basic curriculum is already in place as part of YCSO’s Right-by-Kids program featuring its mascot, Deputy Do-Right. The ongoing outreach to schools throughout Yavapai County is facilitated by 2 YCSO Law Enforcement Education Deputies (LEED), who provide instruction and safety messages on numerous topics relevant to our youth. Driver safety education is already a critical component of the program with a focus on DUI and distracted driver prevention. Other topics covered by LEEDs include drug prevention, gun safety, bicycle safety, bullying prevention, and stranger safety. The Right-by-Kids program reaches several thousand kids each year from grades K through 12.

    For 2016, thanks to the great benefit of this funding, the goal of the “Right-by Kids” team is to produce a series of instructional videos, some featuring ‘Deputy Do-Right,’ covering critical driving safety topics. The video segments will be used during classroom visits and community events throughout Yavapai County. In the past, videos produced were limited in scope due to inadequate equipment and editing software. It is also intended the videos will be used by educators, including those who home school, and State Farm agents, as part of the outreach involving driver’s safety education. YCSO truly appreciates the partnership with State Farm and the goal of preventing driving related tragedies.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
