🎣 Cast with a Cop 2026 🎣
This past Saturday, the Hebron Ohio Police Department was proud to host our Inaugural Cast with a Cop event at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Hebron Fish Hatchery. What started as an idea to connect young people with public safety professionals turned into an unforgettable day filled with fishing, smiles, laughter, learning, and meaningful conversations.
Throughout the day, participants had the opportunity to fish alongside police officers, deputies, troopers, firefighters, and public officials from across our region. Whether it was helping bait a hook, landing a first fish, learning archery, or simply spending time together outdoors, the event was a powerful reminder of the positive impact that community partnerships can have on our youth.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of the agencies, businesses, organizations, volunteers, and sponsors who helped make this event possible:
🚓🚒 Licking County Sheriff's Office, Ohio State Highway Patrol, Lancaster Police Department, West Licking Joint Fire District, Ohio Department of Natural Resources-Law Enforcement Division, Village of Hebron Staff and families
🏪👉 Vance Outdoors, Inc., North Shore Bait & Tackle Shop, Ideal Promotions , Clay's Cafe, S&F Photography, Beth Moore - State Farm Insurance Agent, Lakewood Local School District, Talking Fish
A special thank you goes out to the families and young anglers who joined us. Seeing the excitement on their faces made all of the planning and preparation worthwhile.
This event was just the beginning. We are already looking forward to making Cast with a Cop even bigger and better in 2027!
