PHOTOS: Police Take Some Licks And Give Some Away

The Ledyard Police Day event Monday attracted a good-sized crowd of people interested in checking out the police cars, watching the K9 unit demonstration and eating free ice cream cones.

Police officers Bobby Kempke and Daniel Gagnon showed the crowd how their K9 partners Ringo and Lambeau make finding lost keys and apprehending suspects look easy.

Kids had the hard task of keeping up with their melting ice cream cones as they climbed around and had their pictures taken in police cars.

The event was sponsored by the Ledyard Police Union, which was also accepting food donations for the Ledyard food pantry.

Animal Control Officer Kimlyn Marshall said three kittens were adopted at the event.
