We just wanted to give a HUGE shoutout and thank you to our friend Scott Francis of Dojo Dynamics!
On Sunday, Scott provided pork chop and chicken dinners for all of our day shift and night shift officers from the Dojo’s annual block party.
We are very fortunate to have Scott and Dojo Dynamics here in town. They are a great part of our community, and their continued support of our officers is truly appreciated.
Scott and everyone at Dojo Dynamics, THANK YOU! We appreciate you!
