GREEN COVE SPRINGS -- The Green Cove Springs Police Department received a regional award for hosting its annual Teen Summit at Spring Park.

The 2009 Regional Leadership Award for Excellence in Public Safety was presented during the 9th Annual Northeast Florida Regional Leadership Awards Ceremony, hosted by the Northeast Florida Regional Council.

The Teen Summit provides information on a variety of topics including drug awareness, school bullying, internet safety, youth gangs and peer pressure. Police Chief Robert Musco said the department started the Teen Summit to provide a proactive model in the belief that the prevention of crime services the entire community and reduces the need for apprehension.

Musco attended the awards ceremony along with Mayor Felecia Hampshire, Council member Robert Page, City Manager Don Bowles and Officer Kimberly Robinson, the architect of the "Teen Summit" Program.

This year’s Teen Summit will be held on Sept 25. Go online to www.gcspd.com for more information.

Internet safety was one of my main concerns when I got a laptop for my kids - there are lots of products out there that report on what they are doing but that is all a bit after the horse has bolted really...I downloaded Brightfilter which protects the entire family – it’s really easy to use which is great as I am not a computer expert and it has an always on function - I am also pretty sure you can access it from anywhere in the world which is brilliant, there are time setting features as well as age related profiles here is the link to their site- www.brightfilter.com
