Safety goes beyond the care we provide on calls. Make sure you keep an eye on these apps for digital safety. Unfortunately, digital awareness and safety CAN go hand in hand with mental health, wellbeing and overall safety.

Internet safety has never been more important in today's digital world. Apps, social media and other platforms can help people connect, but they can also present potential dangers for our most vulnerable citizens. Pasco Sheriff's Office compiled a list of apps that parents and guardians should be aware of. If your child has these apps, learn how they work and talk with your child about the importance of being safe online.

As storms threaten parts of Iowa tonight, it's a good time to learn about a powerful weather phenomenon: the derecho.
