Suffolk Sheriff Student Ambassadors Graduate

CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — Thirty students graduated from the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office Student Ambassador Program at Central Islip High School on Wednesday morning.

Hosted by Suffolk County Sheriff Errol D. Toulon, Jr., the ceremony marked the end of the 14-week program that focused on public safety-related topics relevant to Suffolk youth, including cyberbullying, social media safety, vaping and drugs.

The program was held bi-weekly and officers met with a small group of students to facilitate an open dialogue about issues affecting young people.

At the ceremony, two graduates received $500 scholarships from Suffolk Credit Union. This is the fourth year Central Islip High School has hosted the program.
