Officers got quite a surprise when they responded to an accident this morning & discovered the driver was a 9yo girl. The young girl & her 4yo sister apparently snagged the keys to the family car while their parents were sleeping & set out on their own summer adventure. #wvc

It’s a big day for #K9 Tank! He got to meet his new baby brother. Officer Moore says, “after a sniff, and a lick, Tank spent the next hour bringing all his toys over to show the baby. At work he’s all business but at home he’s a huge softy.” 💙

Thankfully, though, no one got hurt, we suspect in large part because those little girls at least remembered to wear their seatbelts! So, what prompted this impromptu trip? The girls told officers that they were headed to California because they wanted to "swim in the ocean.”
