Day 3 of National Police Week:

Defender Ball. The game our very own Cheif brought to the squadron! We had tons of fun! Personally, my favorite part of Police Week is seeing the members of our squadron come together, bring out each other’s competitive sides, and laughing the whole day. Great job to all the teams that came out and played! Congratulations to Dem Boyz who took the first championship 🏆
