🚨 TAPPY TUESDAY IS BACK ON THE DOWNTOWN SQUARE! 🚨

Today’s star of the show was cruising through the Downtown Square when she was passed by a clearly marked Lawrenceville Police patrol car. But apparently, that wasn't enough of a hint.

She then decided to slingshot herself around that same police car and moments later, ran the red light. 🚗💨🔴

When the officer stopped her, she explained that the light was yellow… and then, naturally, asked for a discount on her ticket. 😂

Ma’am, this isn't the Tappy Tuesday Outlet Store. There are no discounts. 🏷️🚫

All jokes aside, please slow down, pay attention, and obey the traffic signals, especially when you're driving right next to a police car. 👀

💜 September is Su***de Prevention Month 💜

Behind every badge, uniform, desk, and home is a person, and sometimes, that person may be struggling in ways others cannot see.

Su***de prevention starts with connection. Check on your friends. Check on your family. Check on your coworkers. Sometimes a simple “Are you okay?” can open the door to a conversation that someone desperately needs.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you don't have to face it alone. Help is available 24/7 by calling or texting 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

As law enforcement officers, we spend our days looking out for others. Let's make sure we're looking out for each other, too. 💙

You matter. Your life matters. And asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

🚨 TAPPY TUESDAY 🚨

Tappy needed a mental health day from watching red-light runners… but apparently, the traffic violations weren't taking the day off. 😂

Officer Katt spotted this gentleman texting while driving. Things got even more interesting when the officer discovered his driver’s license was suspended. Then, instead of sticking around to explain himself, he decided to put a little distance between himself and his car - and Officer Katt. 🏃‍♂️💨

Fortunately, we don’t fret in these situations because we have the best K9 team around! 🐕‍🦺

Sometimes the smartest move is to let the K9 Unit do the work. Everyone goes home safe, and Tappy gets to keep his mental health day on the calendar. 😂

And remember, this gentleman is innocent until proven guilty. 🫵😺

🔥 LESS THAN ONE WEEK TO GO! 🔥

The Battle of the Badges BBQ is almost here, which means we're getting closer to two very important things:

🍖 Delicious BBQ
🎟️ The drawing for the ReqTec Grill Raffle!

And there's still time to get in on the fun! You can purchase a BBQ plate, grab a raffle ticket, or simply scan to make a donation to help get Captain Morris' home ADA compliant.

Every plate, ticket, and donation helps—and we'd love to see you there!

🚦🐸 Tappy Tuesday is back... and today's red-light runner is a little different.

One could say this violation may have had something to do with the alcohol he was drinking while running the red light. 🍺😬

He may have been confused, but Officer Redmond certainly wasn't confused... or amused.

🎶 "Day Drinking" may be a great country song, but day drinking and driving is never a good combination.

If you're behind the wheel:
🚦 Stop on red.
🍺 Don't drink and drive.

Drive safely, Lawrenceville!
