Community Outreach <br />National Night Out <br />We had many wonderful neighborhoods hosting the 2024 National Night Out. It was a <br />great way to meet one another, build the community, and discover how to keep our <br />communities safe and a great place to <br />live. Our police and fire departments <br />joined each party. We had six police <br />officers, the chief of police, as well as <br />police reserve officers, a community <br />service officer and police cadets who <br />joined together to be at each <br />gathering. We want to thank everyone <br />who participated in this incredible <br />community event. <br />Heart Safe Community Initiative <br />Creating a Heart Safe Community is a public health initiative to help more people <br />survive after a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA). The action plan created within this initiative <br />prioritizes where and who to target in the community with CPR training and AED <br />strategic device placement, such as in our schools and teaching our students. Ten <br />Orono police officers, along with over 50 other public safety professionals participated <br />at this year's event at the Mound Westonka High School. Through several different <br />stations students learned to recognize warning signs and symptoms of SCA, the <br />knowledge of CPR training and how to use an AED. <br />3 <br />49 <br />
