International Police Mountain Bike Association - <br />IPMBA <br />In 2024, the Orono Police Department sent three officers to get their certification with <br />the International Police Mountain Bike Association. This 32-hour certification combines <br />Emergency Vehicle Operations for bike officers with patro <br />procedures, tactics, night operations, mock scenes and basic <br />bike maintenance and on -the -road repairs. Officers are able to <br />deploy their bikes to assist with community events, traffic <br />control, crowd control, and assist on calls for service. Utilizing <br />a bike can provide a stealthy approach to doing extra patrol in <br />neighborhoods, and checking business during the night hours. In 2024, Orono's bike <br />officers were able to use their bikes during Our Lady of the Lake Bicycle Safety Rodeo, <br />and the Spirit of the Lakes Parade. <br />D.A.R.E <br />Officer Schultz continued her appointment as the school resource officer for Mound in <br />2024. She taught another successful D.A.R.E program with a combined 235 6th graders <br />from Grandview Middle School and Our Lady of the Lake. The students covered 10 <br />lessons and presented slideshows on the topics they learned. Thank you Officer Schultz <br />for your commitment to our local students! <br />7 <br />10 <br />56 <br />
