ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Just inside the gates of Mollie Ray Elementary, Orange County Deputy Brian Jensen parks his patrol vehicle. “I interact with the kids every day and I’ve seen kids change direction,” Jensen said, adding that it wasn’t always easy. “Kids, when I initially started here wouldn’t even talk to me, largely because of my uniform,” Jensen remembers. “I noticed that a large portion of our disciplinary issues, when I’m talking to those kids, I discover they’re having problems reading,” Jensen remembers. During holiday breaks such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break, Jensen encourages students to read books and write reports.
