It was fun collaborating with Mrs. Smith and her Forest High School Criminal Justice students. They encountered a barricaded subject, negotiated with him, then made entry to secure the premises. Fire/EMS was on standby. Excellent work by all!

What an AMAZING day with our students. A full day putting all their skills together in multiple exercises. Great training, mentorship, and teamwork. Thank you OFR, OPD, MCFR, and program graduates for your generous assistance. Students learned so much and had a blast doing it!

Gracie was invited to Lake Weir High School today to meet students getting ready for final testing. She recently passed her testing as a therapy dog and is receiving her certification. She had so much fun with the students. Gracie became a star as word passed through the school.

MTI students in the OPD Mentorship program had the opportunity to ride with officers as they drove through their driver training course. Our students were very excited to participate in this rare opportunity. Thank you @ocalapd!

Return on investment. Captain Kraft has been volunteering in the classroom teaching students what he has learned at the Florida State Fire College. Thank you captain for giving back and mentoring our future career academy students!

Two of our students, who are in the Ocala-Marion Mentorship program, helped at the fire safety booth Sat Feb 12th during the Ocala Cattle Drive. Mentees taught fire safety skills to several hundred people during the event. Thank you Kailah and Empris, great work! @CTEmarion
