Sheriff's office receives honor
John Hauschild with the National Child Safety Council recently presented Clayton County Sheriff Mike Tschirgi and his department with an award honoring 35 years of child safety and drug education.
The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office was recognized for 35 years of appreciation from the National Child Safety Council. The Clayton County Sheriff’s Office will once again be providing child safety and drug education materials for all children, preschool and older, as well as their parents.
Generally this time of year the Sheriff’s Office teams up with the National Child Safety Council and sends out letters to businesses asking for money donations to the National Child Safety Council. The money donations are then used to purchase and provide safety materials and services for the children. These materials have been designed exclusively by the National Child Safety Council which was started in 1955.
National Child Safety Council provides over 300 different pieces of education material about child safety, drug abuse prevention and missing children. Some of our favorites are coloring books and of course our Jr. Sheriff sticker badge. These materials are fun for the children and also educational. We generally hand these out if we are assisting the schools with educational programs and also at the Clayton County Fair.
