RIGHT BY KIDS CHILD SAFETY PROGRAM, YAVAPAI COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

MISSION:

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office is committed to “Do-Right” by Yavapai County youth by providing creative and meaningful instruction, with up-to-date resources, offering professional guidance and service to help keep kids safe, healthy and drug free.

AGENCY SELF-DESCRIPTION:

The need for kids to receive quality, meaningful guidance from dedicated leaders has never been greater.  Therefore,"Do-Right" instruction will be provided by trained representatives from the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office. Programs may be presented by a sworn deputy, a civilian employee, or a Volunteer in Protection (V.I.P.).  Use of the expertise of a variety of employees within the Y.C.S.O. will provide the latest and most dynamic methods of training. One of the key aspects of the "Right by Kids" program will be its flexibility.  We will offer instruction to children within several age ranges.  Younger children, grades k-3 will learn valuable lessons about making healthy choices, protecting themselves against bullying and improving self-esteem.  Messages about drugs will be presented using methods and demonstrations suitable to their age group.  Older children will also receive instruction tailored to fit their maturity level. This program will not be exclusive to schools.  The "Right by Kids" program is available to youth groups, clubs, and church organizations.
