Show Notes
Jefferson County Sheriffs Office is revolutionizing community policing with Sheriff Mark Pettways Bridging the Gap initiative. The program transforms deputies into community builders, offering programs that connect law enforcement with residents through sports, casual chats, and support tools. Key initiatives include the LEAP program, which pairs deputies with children aged four to twelve for sports activities, and Coffee with a Cop, a platform for open conversations. Additional efforts like Autism Awareness decals, Hoop Fest, and the To Be Human video series further strengthen community ties and promote understanding.
