Woodbury Public Library: Secrets of the Apps with Officer Rich Marsh

1

Woodbury Public Library recently issued the following announcement.

Do  you wonder what could be hiding in plain sight on your child's  smartphone?  Join Officer Rich Marsh as he takes a deep dive into the  world of smartphone apps and their hidden uses.

Officer  Rich Marsh has been an officer with the Woodbury Resident Trooper  Office for over 14 years and he has served as a 5th Grade DARE program  instructor at Woodbury Middle School.  During his time as an officer,  Officer Marsh has conducted several large scale investigations involving  cellular phones and the apps that people use for nefarious reasons to  include drug sales transactions, harassment, bullying, and threatening  complaints.  After an incident occurred at the Middle School involving  several children and the SnapChat app, it became apparent to Officer  Marsh that many parents were not fully aware of the dangers of this  particular application, and many of those same parents wanted to be  educated about the dangers of this and the variety of other apps that  are readily available to kids.  This program was created to give parents  the information and resources that they need to make smart decisions  about their child's cellular phone use.  "Secrets of the Apps" is not  only for parents, but also grandparents or anyone else caring for  school-aged children.
