HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Two students from Durant High School donated bike helmets to deputies at the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO.)
HCSO says one of the students was inspired to start a charity focused on helping others after she recovered from a traumatic brain injury.
In an effort to keep kids safe while riding, deputies gave helmets to local elementary schools.
“We’re proud to support and partner with young leaders who are making a real difference,” HCSO said in a statement.
'Cruise lights' on Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office patrol cars raise questions, confusion among drivers
Every driver knows that when you see red and blue flashing lights on a patrol car, you slow down, pull over, or get out of the way.
But in Hillsborough County, drivers will also now see deputies with their lights on, but not flashing. They're called "cruise lights," and the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) recently implemented their use on all patrol vehicles.
