A group of eight individuals, consisting of police officers and firefighters, are gathered outdoors in a semicircle. The setting appears to be a residential area with brick buildings and trees in the background. The person at the center is holding a piece of paper and seems to be addressing the group. Three firefighters are visible from behind; one is wearing a navy blue shirt with "Belle Plaine Fire" written on it, another is wearing a light blue shirt with "BPFD" on it, and the third is wearing a navy blue shirt with "Shakopee Fire" written on it. The police officers are dressed in dark uniforms with badges and equipment belts. Some have their hands resting on their hips or crossed over their chests as they listen attentively.
