Hosted by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office, such training challenges attract motor officers from throughout the U.S., according to a Facebook post by OBPD. This annual challenge is named in honor of Seminole County Sheriff's Office motor Deputy Matthew J. Miller, who died in the line of duty in 2011.
