Sheriff Rick Staly tasked the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office school resource deputies working with elementary-aged students to create a program geared towards providing instruction and safety information that is age-appropriate and law enforcement related.
With approval from Flagler Schools administrators, the SRDs came up with the name “Being Excellent And Respectful” and will refer to it as BEAR for short. The program will be presented by the School SRDs to third, fourth, fifth and sixth grade students. Third grade will focus on bike safety, fourth and fifth grade will focus on bullying, and sixth grade will focus on threats and the role of a law enforcement officer.
