Why/How:
The Pinellas County Sheriff`s Office to host the first Discovery Day program for children residing in Pinellas County.

The program will provide Pinellas County children the opportunity to take a hands-on, behind-the-scenes look at the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office. Participants will receive a welcome from Sheriff Bob Gualtieri before separating into groups and experiencing four “education stations.” These stations will include PCSO vehicle displays, a modified version of the Physical Abilities Test (P.A.T.) course to see if they have what it takes to be a deputy sheriff, a hands-on crime scene investigation experience and the opportunity to take on the Targeted Response Against Distracted Driving (T.R.A.D.D.) course.

There will be 52 children who reside in Pinellas County, ages 8 to 13 participating in this pre-registered event.

The media is invited to attend this discovery day event.

Community Programs Manager Ricky Butler will be present to assist responding media. Feel free to reach out for any planning needs to rbutler@pcsonet.com.
