PBSO Employee Goes Above and BEE-yond
When PBSO Employee Michele Denski heard our community had a bee problem, she threw on her bee keeper gear and took care of the problem on her own time, collected the bees and transported them to a safe location. She not only solved a problem for our community, but acted as a dedicated conservationist. BEE proud, we’re proud!?Swimming Safety Book Launch
Swimming is fun, but we have to do it safely. We recently had a children’s book launch of, "Gaspar's Big Day." An illustrated children's book that talks about safety tips when going out to swim. We'd like to thank Sheriff Ric Bradshaw's wife, Dorothy, for reading the new book to local school children.Broken Star Foundation Awards Scholarships
