The Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches around the state provide a homelike atmosphere for those children who have been neglected or abused. The Youth Ranch complex in Safety Harbor is a fine example of how this program can redirect troubled children and help them become well-adjusted, productive citizens. Many successful "Ranchers" have gone on to careers in public safety.
