Press release
In the last few weeks of the school year, Deputy Barnum provided information and guidance to High School students with learners’ permits and driver’s licenses. Deputy Barnum emphasized the importance of safe driving and not using drugs or alcohol beverages before getting behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.
Deputy Barnum brought the Sheriff’s Office Driving Simulator System and Pedal Cars to the school. These systems allow drivers to wear goggles that simulate being under the influence of various intoxicating substances and see the problems they cause for operators.
In the pictures, it shows the students using the Driving Simulator and driving the Pedal Cars though a course with the goggles on. One picture shows retiring Technology Teacher Jeff Gress on the simulator.
The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office would like to wish all students in the county a safe summer vacation.
