Jermaine "Tall Cop" Galloway
On November 6, 2024, Officer Jermaine Galloway—nationally known as “Tall Cop”—visited Jackson County to deliver two powerful sessions of his nationally acclaimed training, "High in Plain Sight." Hosted at the Kevin Dukes Career & Innovation Academy, his sessions educated attendees on current drug trends, concealment methods, and behaviors associated with youth substance use. Officer Galloway also conducted a local community scan prior to his presentations and shared his findings with stakeholders, offering valuable insight into the challenges facing our area.
We are incredibly grateful to Officer Galloway for sharing his expertise, energy, and passion for prevention with our educators, law enforcement, medical professionals, and service providers. His visit was made possible through funding from the Children’s Policy Council Technical Assistance Grant. We hope to welcome him back in the future to continue this important conversation.
