Sheriff’s Alcohol Awareness for Everyone (SAAFE) Program
“The S.A.A.F.E TALK program reaches out to the young people in our community to educate them about the long-term effects of drug and alcohol use. Eighty percent of those incarcerated in the Davidson County jails has a drug and/or alcohol addiction. Our hope is by making contact with school-aged children early on, it will help them from becoming a statistic later in life and keep them out of our jails.” – Sheriff Daron Hall
