40 Years–40 Stories of InnerAct Alliance | Story #7: Our Prevention Supporters

 



40 Years - 40 Stories | Story #7: Some Things Haven't Changed - Our Prevention Supporters!

Community support has always been a key component in the success of our nonprofit agency, from our humble beginnings as Pride of Lakeland and the Drug Prevention Resource Center to today as InnerAct Alliance. 

Why Collaboration Matters

Drug prevention education requires diverse expertise, resources, and perspectives from schools, families, law enforcement, and health providers to address the multifaceted nature of substance abuse. Our local law enforcement partners at the Polk County Sheriff's Office and Lakeland Police Department provide critical intel on substance use trends, enforcement strategies, and foster trust and support in our community.

THEN: Sheriff Lawrence Crow served as Polk Sheriff for 18 years (1987-2005) and was beloved by students! This throwback photo shows Sheriff Crow high-fiving students at our Fifth Grady Rally events!

NOW: Sheriff Grady Judd continues to support our prevention education efforts wholeheartedly! He takes time each year to meet and speak with our UthMpact Student Leaders on Law Enforcement Leadership Day, and of course, everyone wants a selfie!
