 “We need to teach our young people to stop hating one another. They need to stop hating authority. What’s missing in their lives is respect and accountability”Chief of Police Ronal Surpas  “Mentoring works! Chief Serpas and I have a big challenge. The police arrest the person. The Sheriff arrests the problem. There are plenty of opportunities for us to do something. What’s missing is spirituality and family values.” Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall  “The best and only hope we have is to change more hearts and souls of these children. It takes human contact to change them. If you’ve never had love you don’t recognize it.” Juvenile Court Judge Betty Adams Green |
