Deputies, Parks and Pancakes?

Teenagers and Sheriff’s deputies: you can bet one doesn’t want to get in trouble with the other. But if there’s anything that will bring the two together, it’s breakfast.

In a first for County Parks and the Sheriff’s Department, the two are offering a free pancake breakfast Saturday to teenagers in the teen program at Park’s Spring Valley Community Center. Their families are also invited with the idea they can all meet the deputies and get a better understanding of their role in the community. Most of the deputies who will be chowing down with the teenagers work out of the Lemon Grove substation near Spring Valley.  

By working together, the two County departments strive to improve our communities. They plan to make the pancake breakfast an annual event at the Community Center.
