Volusia County Deputies Association, I.U.P.A. Local #6035 Members were on the committee that organized and ran the Volusia Sheriff Saltwater Showdown Fishing Tournament!

Proceeds benefitted the Volusia Sheriff’s Office Charity Committee, a non-profit 501(C)(3) dedicated to children and community charities. Children and adults from the community as well as law enforcement officers participated in a fun and exciting event that was sponsored by local businesses!

Volusia Sheriff Saltwater Showdown Fishing Tournament posted on social media, “Congratulations to all of our anglers—big and small! From the little ones casting lines off the dock to the seasoned anglers out on open waters, you all made our inaugural fishing tournament one to remember. Thank you to everyone who came out, and a special shoutout to our sponsors, volunteers, and community partners for making this day such a success. Here’s to a great start and many more to come!”

You can watch a video of deputies teaching kids how to fish here.

Each week, the I.U.P.A. Briefing Room features a photo that exemplifies the valuable part of the community that our Law Enforcement Officers all across the U.S. are and their positive impact as well as their dedication, service, and sacrifice.
