On April 29, we announced an exciting partnership with the Raleigh County Sheriff’s Office in West Virginia. Sheriff Frank Priddy, Chief Deputy Frankie Shelton, and Regional Manager Jim Hale are collaborating to enhance Internet safety education. This initiative aims to combat online predators, curb the spread of harmful content, and promote positive digital engagement. As part of this effort, Safe Surfin’ sponsored a free Internet safety training session for law enforcement officers to help them better protect their communities.
