UPDATE: The Orange Park Police Department has just announced two critical safety workshops set for December 7, aimed at enhancing community safety in Orange Park, Florida. These free sessions focus on e-bike safety and active assailant preparedness and are open to all local residents.
The day kicks off with an E-Bike Safety Workshop from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, where attendees will learn essential riding skills and safety tips. Following that, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, the police will host a seminar on handling active assailant situations, teaching civilians how to recognize danger and mitigate risks effectively. This initiative comes as a direct response to the pressing need for community safety education in today’s challenging landscape.
Local resident Earl Padgett expressed his enthusiasm for the workshops, stating, “This is a fantastic opportunity for our community! In a town of roughly 9,000 plus people, having local officers who know our neighborhoods, our families, and our day-to-day routines makes all the difference.” His remarks highlight the significant impact these programs can have on local safety and the strong relationship between the police and community.
Another resident, Mark Cornett Sr., praised the workshops as “two more examples of Community-Oriented Policing (COPS) in our community!” He emphasized the leadership of Chief Case and his team, which reflects the department’s commitment to proactive policing and engagement. These sentiments resonate with many community members who value the efforts of local law enforcement in fostering a safe environment.
The workshops aim not only to improve individual safety but also to build trust and collective security among the residents of Orange Park.
