Leadership Class Learned Importance of Adequate Funding for Public Safety Agencies

 

The jail system overseen by Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO) is the largest mental health institution in our county. Did you know: 1 out of 4 individuals will experience a mental health issue in their lifetime?

 

These and many other facts were presented to the Leadership Class of 2015 during the recent Public Safety Day. One of the day's takeaways: PBSO, County Fire & Rescue, court system, and mental health programs need adequate funding.
