Community Oriented Policing
• Lieutenant Davis and Reserve Officer Allen assisted with the three-day Battle of Okeechobee Reenactment at the Okeechobee Battlefield State Park. During each day of the event the historical Battle of Okeechobee was reenacted for the participants. Officers assisted with parking and fielded questions from the hundreds of visitors that attended the reenactment.
• Lieutenant Davis, Investigator/Drone Pilot Wright, Public Information Officer Officer Matthews, Officer Crosby and K-9 Officer Madsen participated in the Okeechobee County School District Career Fair at the Indian River State College campus in Okeechobee. The officers fielded multiple questions about how to become an FWC officer. They also discussed what an FWC member does, including demonstrating different units within the Division of Law Enforcement such as drone pilot and K-9 officer. There were over a thousand 5th, 8th and 10th grade students in attendance.
