ORLANDO, Fla. – Caught in a crisis, communities often turn to law enforcement.
“It could be parents going through a divorce. It could be a single-parent home, a homeless situation, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend,” Chief Jeff O’Dell of the Kissimmee Police Department said.
With more than 30 years of experience under his belt, O’Dell knows how crises affect children differently.
“With kids, it could be anything. They could be teased or bullied, so we really have to have a well-rounded school resources officer.”
