COLUMBUS—This year, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office welcomed over 80 children for a fantastic week of swimming, fishing, bowling, and building camaraderie between kids and deputies at the annual Kids and Cops Summer Kickoff Camp.

Lt. Martin, Polk County School Resource Deputy, emphasized the resilience of these kids, especially after the challenges they faced with Hurricane Helene. 

“We were excited to kick off summer with them again this year,” he said
