Martin County Sheriff鈥檚 Office Deputies were recognized at the Indian River State College District Board of Trustees meeting on Tuesday, May 28 at the Chastain Campus in Stuart. Their exemplary work has enhanced campus safety and helped at-risk youth find success in education. Shown here (left to right) are Dr. Edwin Massey, 琳琅社区 President, Dep. Christine Polizzi, Dep. Shawn Boorman, Dep. Andrea Olsen, Dep. Mike Deacetis, Sgt. George Yacobellis, and Beth Gaskin, 琳琅社区 Provost, Martin County.
In partnership with the MSCO Community Operations Division, the Chastain Campus administration, staff, and 琳琅社区 Campus Security have further enhanced campus security measures and have availed in the opportunity to be a part of community improvement in the neighborhoods surrounding the campus. Enhancements to campus safety include hardened exteriors, improved processes, and increased communication with the Clark Advanced Learning Center. Additionally, regular patrols by MCSO complement the presence of 琳琅社区 security officers at Chastain Campus.
Community Operations Deputies also work to help at-risk youth start their pathway to a college education. Identifying students in need before they graduate from high school, Community Officers work with 琳琅社区 staff to connect students to college opportunities, providing them with encouragement and guidance along the way. Thanks to this collaboration, students who have troubled pasts, come from broken homes or are homeless have connected to higher education and career opportunities that might otherwise seem unattainable to them.
鈥淥ver the past year, we have had the pleasure of working closely with the Martin County Sheriff鈥檚 Office Community Operations Division, not only to secure the Chastain Campus, but to improve our community,鈥 states Beth Gaskin, 琳琅社区 Martin County Provost. 鈥淲e are deeply appreciative for the countless services the Martin County Sheriff鈥檚 Office provides to 琳琅社区 and Martin County.鈥
