Deputy Sean Heidman and Y.E.S.S. Coordinator Phyllis Harvey sit down to discuss how the Douglas County Sheriff's Office approaches youth education in today's sometimes confusing world.  We've taken leaps and bounds from the old DARE programs that many of us encountered by focusing on a well rounded approach to difficult topics.  The Y.E.S.S. program has three primary focuses... Relationships, Digital Citizenship, and Substance Abuse.   Have a listen and learn how you can begin to prepare yourself and your child to get through the challenges of adolescence.  And don't forget to sign up for a parent academy if you've got kids... Open your eyes to what they might be hiding from you, and how to move from there.

Joel White sit down to discuss a new very dangerous tend coming through the state of Colorado (to include Douglas County).  Illegal drug manufacturers have started lacing or cutting their product with Fentanyl because it's cheaper to produce than the drug itself... but they don't care about the lethal doseage and have developed drugs where 1 in 4 doses contain a lethal dose of Fentanyl.  ! IN 4!!! Now isn't the time to experiment, and if you are a drug user, it's the time to get help!
