Seven-year-old Gabriella Gaskins, of Zephyrhills, far right, scowls after seeing ink on her fingers. The girl was fingerprinted by Terry Rodenfels, a volunteer for the Zephyrhills Police Department. The volunteer was taking fingerprints during the National Night Out event Oct. 2 at the police department, at 6118 Eighth St. Gabriella, along with her siblings, 4-year-old Emily Chambers, center left, and 6-year-old Michael Gaskins, center right, were fingerprinted as part of a child safety campaign offered during the event.

Zephyrhills Police Det. John Oleson sported a false mustache and sunglasses during National Night Out. Shown here, he is soaking wet after being ‘dunked’ in the dunk tank. He was dunked repeatedly during the two-hour event, which aims to promote goodwill between the police department and the community.

Besides the dunk tank and fingerprinting, there was food, music, station tours, balloons, and the chance to meet police officers and firefighters, as well as other activities.
