MEDINA – A special thank you to Deputy Jason Barnum of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Office who spent time with our Security and Law Enforcement students at the Orleans Career and Technical Education Center.

Deputy Barnum has taken time out of his busy schedule the last four years to provide assistance with a training exercise with teacher Gene Newman’s students.

“Conducting a comprehensive Felony Traffic Stop training exercise allows students to engage in realistic scenarios that enhance their critical thinking, teamwork, and decision-making skills,” said Mr. Newman. “This hands-on experience not only deepens their understanding of law enforcement procedures but also builds confidence in high-pressure situations, preparing them for the challenges they will face in the career field.”

A thank you to role player volunteers Gabie Rosenbeck and Colton Brunette who were invaluable in helping the students with their training.
