AVON, Ind. — Sometimes police officers need a break from their usual patrols for a little community outreach.
This time, the outreach included a snowball battle.

“After dealing with the traffic and helping that way and then you get to start throwing snowballs, it kind of makes you remember what it’s like to be a kid,” officer Will Richards told WTHV.
