Reality Check Program
Reality Check is a 3 hour Intervention, Prevention
and Awareness training program for young men and women 10 years of age and
older consisting of counseling, jail tours and talking with juvenile inmates of the
Detention Center. The Sheriffs Office
has returned to the basic teachings of common sense, self respect and self control and for
some of our youth seeing is believing. The Sheriff believes that educating our
youth and their families about the consequences of criminal behavior can divert
involvement in crime. More than 700 Reality Check presentations have been made.
We have also taken Reality Check one step further. We have integrated Reality
Check into local schools and Churches. These young adults get a chance to
go on school outings with reality check officers, such as local ropes
courses. The Reality Check officers are also mentors at several schools in
Oklahoma County.
