GOSHEN – As part of the Orange County District Attorney’s Community Outreach Program, DA David Hoovler will host a hunter safety program. The 10-hour course will be held on September 1 and 2 at the new senior center in the Town of Deerpark. The course will run from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on both dates.
The purpose of the course is to encourage interaction between law enforcement and the youth in the county and to stress the importance of gun safety, Hoovler said.
The course will be taught by Police Officer Michael Decker of the City of Port Jervis Police Department and Sgt. Ray Cirulli of the Town of Deerpark Police Department. Both men are certified state Department of Environmental Conservation Hunter safety instructors. Assistant district attorneys will also assist in the program.
“The youth of our county need to have positive experiences with police officers,” said Hoovler. “I am hopeful that these courses will foster an interest in our young people in safely experiencing the natural beauty of our county by engaging in outdoor activities and in learning the importance of conservation.”
Anyone interested in enrolling in the course should call the DA’s office at 845-291-2050.
