Prevention Summit a
Success!
On Monday, October 19, 2015, StandUP Polk
hosted the 6th Annual “Own the Upside” Prevention Summit at Lake Eva
Banquet Hall in Haines City. Sheriff Grady Judd began the Prevention Summit
with opening remarks. The 170 participants represented many organizations across Polk County including School Resource Officers,
School Board employees, Prevention Specialists, Mental Health and Substance
Abuse Professionals, and Guardian ad litems.
It was a great opportunity to share current information about our
community and its youth culture. An outstanding line up of speakers presented
on topic including: The Impact of the
Legalization of Marijuana, New and Emerging Drugs, Waxing and Dabbing, Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder in Law Enforcement, Bullying, Trauma Informed care,
and Current Gang Trends. The Crime Stoppers Campaign was revealed and
participants were awarded CEU’s for their participation.
