“I started building a relationship with Puder about 10 years ago when I was a chief of police in Oklahoma and I know his programs have been proven to help youth. After talking to Sheriff May and Puder, I knew it would be a recipe for success by bringing him into our area and we look forward to helping our entire area by helping our youth,” added Captain Eddie Adamson of the St Francis County Sheriff’s Department.
