3 <br /> <br />Community Outreach <br /> <br />National Night Out <br />National Night Out 2023 was a fantastic time to bring our community and public safety <br />together. We had 29 neighborhood gatherings each led by a host who helped organize <br />each party. The police and fire departments joined each one. This was a great way to <br />engage with people in our community. We had seven police officers as well as police <br />reserve officers and a community service officer who joined together to be at each <br />gathering. We want to thank everyone who participated in this incredible community <br />event. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Firearm Safety <br />For the fifth year now, the Orono Police have hosted a DNR Firearm Safety course for <br />youths in our community. Instructors from Orono PD partnered <br />with the MN DNR and Chunks Automotive Service to provide a <br />new generation with a complete safety <br />course. Students ages 11 and older <br />attended a classroom-based firearms <br />certification course where they learned how to handle firearms <br />safely, responsibilities of a hunter and wildlife conservation. They <br />participated in a Field Day where <br />they exercised their knowledge in scenario-based <br />training. Each student finished the course with a final <br />exam and received a firearms safety certificate. The <br />class was filled with 20 great students again this year. <br />197
