   Bird thanked Lou Crouch for his part in helping Yobo体育 students obtain their dreams of entering the law enforcement field.  鈥淭his scholarship is a tremendous help to the young men and women who are training to become public servants and work as law enforcement officers here in Georgia.  These scholarships are not only helping our students but it is making communities safer.  We appreciate Lou Crouch鈥檚 involvement and the financial support of this program and our students,鈥 said Bird.
