Community engagement can occur in many different ways, and officers couldn't resist taking this delicious opportunity! Officer Brieschke, Officer Perry, and Sgt. Myers stopped to purchase cookies from local Girl Scouts to support their fund-raising efforts. Thank you officers for setting a great example and "Supporting our young leaders, one box at a time!"
