Chester County Sheriff’s Office to Host Second 'Think Before You Post' Seminar

The Chester County Sheriff's Office announces the return of its educational seminar, Think Before You Post, taking place on Friday, May 30th from 6:00 - 8:00 PM at the Chester County Justice Center. This free event is open to students, families, educators, and community members, and will also be accessible virtually for those unable to attend in person.

Now in its second year, Think Before You Post is designed to educate youth on the real-world impact of their online behavior. With growing concerns about social media safety, privacy, and digital reputations, the seminar equips attendees with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the internet responsibly.

This year's seminar will feature speakers from the Chester County Sheriff's Office, the County's District Attorney's Office, and the Chester County Department of Emergency Services.

These professionals will share real-life stories, insight, and guidance on how seemingly simple posts can have long-term consequences - including impacts on college admissions, job opportunities, and personal safety.

"We're seeing more and more cases where a single post can derail a student's future," said Noah Stribrny, Command Staff Liaison for the Chester County Sheriff's Office. "This seminar is about helping students and families take control of their digital footprint before it controls them."
