Sibley, Iowa — A “Safety Camp” was held Monday at the Osceola County Fairgrounds in Sibley. One of the booths the kids flocked to was the one from the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
Osceola County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Seth Hoffman, and Deputy Lee Vellema manned the Sheriff’s Office booth. Vellema says they took the opportunity of the Safety Camp to talk to kids about “Stranger Danger.”
Deputy Vellema says he and Hoffman handed out fingerprint kits to the kids.
Vellema says they also gave the kids the opportunity to explore one of the department’s patrol vehicles, which was on display.
He says the patrol car’s siren was very popular with the kids in attendance.
Vellema says everyone who attended Monday’s “Safety Camp” seemed to enjoy themselves.
Monday’s “Safety Camp” was held from 9:00 until 2:00 at the Osceola County Fairgrounds, and was organized by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach of Osceola County, and sponsored by Pioneer Seed.
