The Oviedo Police Department hosted Fishing with a Cop at Long Lake Park in Oviedo.
Oviedo Police Officers and Seminole County Deputies were paired up with kids who wanted to learn how to fish in Long Lake, which is a hot spot for fishing in the community. Kids brought their fishing poles and gear to cast and catch fish. This is a catch and release program.
“This annual event is a very popular event in our community,” said Oviedo Police Chief Dale Coleman. “We want to provide the kids with a healthy outlet while interacting with law enforcement, allowing them to get to know our officers in a relaxed environment with a fun activity.”
Fishing with a Cop was a free event for the kids and a great way to teach them outdoor skills. Oviedo Police provided prizes to kids who caught fish.
