“One of my biggest concerns is the rate at which violence can escalate in the realm of social media, without being detected by parents, teachers, or authorities in a timely manner. The LCSO is committed to staying current with the trends in violence that surface on the Internet. To keep streets safer, we put deputies on the streets. To keep kids safer on the Internet, we will be the authoritative presence there as well.” – Sheriff Thomas J. Dougherty
