Officer Todd Bernhard was patrolling through the park and came across this really cool guy. Andrew Groff, 26, has a great liking and respect for first responders. Andrew was with his family assisting them at the craft show going on. He wanted a photo with the car. We can't stop at a photo so he not only got the photo but a full tour of the police car, front, back and what we carry in the trunk. Such a cool dude!!! Thanks for introducing yourself to Officer Bernhard.
