The Kiwanis Club of Flagler County made a second presentation of Stuffed Bears to Sheriff Rick Staly on Tuesday (Dec. 14).
The Club’s signature project “Bears-on-Patrol” was initiated in October 2019 to equip every Flagler County Law Enforcement vehicle with a supply of stuffed bears for officers to use when responding to calls ranging from traffic accidents, fires, and crime scenes, to domestic issues where a child is in a distressful situation and needs comfort and security. The gift of a bear from the officer helps in establishing trust and a friendly relationship with the child.
