    Join Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department to recognize October
    as �National Crime Prevention Month,� and attend the annual
    Community Open House.  The Open House takes place Saturday,
    October 6 from noon to 4 p.m. at Ranger Headquarters, located at
    4600 Valley Parkway in Rocky River Reservation in Fairview
    Park.



    Visitors of all ages can meet one of the K-9 officers, see the
    Mounted Unit horses, and gain bicycle safety tips from the Bike
    Patrol Unit rangers.  Visitors can also see all the Ranger
    Department's vehicles that are used to patrol all the unique areas
    within the Park District.  Also on-site is the Ranger
    Department's Dive Team to show, not only their operations trailer,
    but also provide demonstrations and make available their search and
    rescue equipment.



    Visitors can also take guided tours of the Ranger Headquarters
    facility, take a stroll down the history hall that displays vintage
    police-related equipment and photographs, and see the inside of the
    holding facility and what goes on in the Communications
    Center. 



    Rangers will have a fingerprint station set up to provide
    children with their own fingerprint cards.  And, Cleveland
    Metroparks Aquatics Division lifeguards will provide information on
    water safety and their role with the Park District.



    During the Ranger Open House, a retirement ceremony will be held
    for Radar, the departments' first K-9 patrol dog.  The
    ceremony honoring Radar's services will be held at 12:30 p.m. 
    Radar has served the department since 2002, and has an impressive
    list of accomplishments.



    For more information on the Community Open House, call Ranger
    Headquarters at 440-331-5530.



    Bring the whole family to enjoy a great afternoon at the Ranger
    Open House and learn more about the Park District's law enforcement
    staff and their role protecting, serving and educating visitors of
    Cleveland Metroparks - part of your life,
    naturally.
