DCI Members invited Cpl. Colleen Gibbons and Dep. Josh Harmison of the Berkeley County Sherriff’s Department to visit their Day Center and speak on the topic of Internet and phone safety. Both Cpl. Gibbons and Dep. Harmison stressed the importance of never giving out personal information, or pictures, either on the phone or the internet. Other tips included how to deal with bullies on the internet or in person; Stranger Danger; what to do if you get lost or feel threatened; please inform a parent or trusted adult in any of the above situations.
DCI Members listened closely and brought up some issues they had personally faced. Cpl. Gibbons and Dep. Harmison stressed the importance of sharing these situations with family.
Then it was time to get fingerprinted! There was much joking about having their prints taken but all realized what a great safety measure it is.
DCI Members and Staff want to thank Cpl. Gibbons and Dep. Harmison for taking time out of their busy schedule to visit DCI and present this important information.
