About this Event
Speaker- Ret. Lt. Penny Cook, historian
Voters approved the creation of Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department in 1912, chasing after a host of colorful criminals. Bootlegging, moon shining, and gambling were daily occurrences and J*il escapes were not uncommon. Newspapers reported that inmates sawed their way through the iron bars with tools smuggled in from the outside, so they had to chase them down again!
Hear how the Department has employed new methods to face the evolving challenges over the past century.
