Book Candy Priano for your next gathering.
She will share her story with your group so they can learn about the other side of vehicular police pursuits.
“I was helpless to save my daughter Kristie’s life,” Candy Priano says. “So I study and work to fix the problem that causes the tragedy of pursuit. I don’t want anyone else to suffer the pain my family endures.”
Candy’s passion lies with the mission of PursuitSAFETY—to reduce the number of unnecessary vehicular pursuits, so no other person has to suffer the pain of the death or injury of someone they love. Pursuits of nonviolent offenders too often kill the innocent and are the most difficult to comprehend, leaving questions unanswered about the need for such chases for the family members left behind.
With assistance from others, Candy founded and became the Victim Services Director of PursuitSAFETY. She is committed to saving lives—the lives of both innocent bystanders and police officers. When giving a presentation, she not only shares her personal story about her daughter, Kristie, she also selects a card, a letter, or poem from the treasures she has received from other families and tells their personal story, too.
“The officers and staff welcomed Esther Seoanes, PursuitSAFETY’s executive director, and me with open arms from the moment we walked through the doors of the impressive Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy. I felt honored to be a part of such a positive movement happening in Florida.” About 300 officer trainers attended the eighth annual Florida Public Safety Institute conference.
