A school resource officer for eight years, Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office Dep. Jared Psinas knows the importance of reaching children at an impressionable age.
He leads the LEAD program at East Bay K-8 and oversees its implementation at other schools in the county. An acronym for Law Enforcement Against Drugs and Violence, LEAD is a 10-week educational course designed to teach children about the dangers of drugs and how to deal with things like peer pressure.
